Daniel has published two books, the most recent from 2018, titled Cyberformalism: The Histories of Linguistic Forms in the Digital Archive. By lauding searchable digital archives as a valuable research tool, this book asks literary scholars to expand their conception of the sign to include abstract linguistic forms.
