In "Rules," historian Lorraine Daston explores the development and enduring nature of rules across Western history, from ancient to modern times. Through diverse examples such as legal texts, cookbooks, military manuals, and traffic regulations, she reveals how rules serve as algorithms, laws, and models that shape our lives. The book examines how rules evolve, sometimes becoming normalized or rigid, and investigates their effectiveness and philosophical significance.
