520 8  Just a few years before the dawn of the digital age, 
       Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan set out to build the 
       largest database of sociological information ever 
       assembled. It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists 
       were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach
       tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, 
       along with anthropologist A.I. Hallowell and a team of 
       researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European 
       subjects-among remote and non-literate peoples around the 
       globe and elsewhere. Recording their dreams, stories, and 
       innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned 
       future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-
       edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, 
       technological developments and the obsolescence of the 
       theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and
       eventually it was forgotten. In a scrupulously researched 
       and captivating new book, Rebecca Lemov recounts the story
       of Kaplan's quest and brings to light an informative and 
       disturbing chapter in the prehistory of Big Data.
