Absolutely fascinating. I kept reading tidbits to my husband, who didn't seem to care as much, but I found nearly all of the subjects interesting and definitely new information to me. Highly recommend!
Another level of my big data fascination: I read an actual sciency book. Can't believe it.
It's such a shame I'm useless at maths because this book is basically my dream job.

El autor termina el libro diciendo que (spoiler) los datos confirman que la mayoría de los lectores de este tipo de libros no los terminan, así que no se va a molestar en escribir una conclusión decente. Tal cual me pareció el libro, muy interesante en los primeros capítulos pero se le fue acabando la pila al final. En cualquier caso vale la pena para introducirse al mundo del big data con ejemplos interesantes y con potencial para lucirse en conversaciones.
Not great. Seems like the author discovered Google trends and lost track of all context. First 2/3rds of the book is all about correlations with absolutely no causation. He mentions this later but many of the foundational arguments feel flawed at this point.
So this book took me forever as it was a pretty dry economics read however it was facinating. Freakonomics with more data
I never really knew anything about Big Data before picking up this book and boy did I learn a ton. The author’s writing tone is relatable, articulate and honest. I love the concept that data is all around us, especially in the social media platforms we use daily. I applaud the author, too, for recognizing and relaying to us the limitations to this type of data. Great book!
It was an interesting concept, but the book brings up an idea then meanders along in so many different paths without finishing the first thought that it is never really clear how the story ties with the Everybody Lies idea. It is probably a good introduction to anyone relatively new to big data and data extraction. There were some very intriguing points that I wish the author had fleshed out more rather than use it a bridge to the next idea.
My friend and I affectionately call this book "Fun Fact: The Novel". You will walk away with so much ammo; you'll never hear another awkward silence again.
Guys, this book is crazy interesting. I love the concept alone, the idea that Big Data can tell us so much more about ourselves. But Seth presents it in such a digestible way. There is so much to be gained from this book. If nothing, you'll walk away with great trivia knowledge. If everything, you'll realize that we are greatly under-utilizing Big Data and the way it can shape our research. People lie and people don't always say what they feel. But more than that, people reveal much more by their actions and their clicks than by their words. If you want to really know how the data science industry is pioneering its next steps, read this freaking book.
Big Data research has already told me that most people won't finish this book. Prove Big Data wrong.

کتاب "همه دروغ میگویند”
میگه ما به همه دروغ میگیم به جز گوگل!
میگه به جای این که از کسي بپرسید افسرده هستی، بهتره ببینید تا حالا، درباره ی روش های درمان افسردگی توی گوگل سرچ کرده یا نه؟
یا به جای این که از هزار نفر بپرسید نژاد پرست هستند یا نه، بهتره ببینید چند درصد مردم، جک هاي توهین آمیز قومیتي و نژاد پرستانه رو برای هم فوروارد میکنند!
کتاب ما رو با علم داده و بیگ دیتا آشنا میکنه
که به نظرم آشنایي کلي با این علم
در دنيای امروز از واجباته.
و البته با مثال هاي حیرت انگیزی که میزنه ،
متوجه میشیم که ارزش این همه اطلاعاتی که گوگل و اینستاگرام و شرکت هاي مشابهش جمع آوری می کنند، چقدر زیاده.
برای کسایی که اهل رمان خوندن نیستن، واقعا کتاب جذابیه.
Kniha s názvom Každý klame nehovorí len o prípadoch, kedy na internete klameme, ponúka nám najmä skutočný pohľad na to, čo o nás vypovedá to, čo na internete vyhľadávame, keď nás (zdanlivo) nikto nevidí.
Mám rada zaujímavé štatistiky, a preto som od začiatku tejto knihy len otvárala oči a usilovala sa čo najviac z nich si zapamätať. Bavilo ma sledovať spôsob, ako sa autor - analytik Googlu - zamýšľal nad rôznymi vecami, spájal mnohé dáta a vyvodzoval z nich zaujímavé zistenia. Kniha je nabitá informáciami a štatistikami na naozaj všemožné témy, je tam veľa veľa zaujímavo, no musím povedať, že čím viac som sa blížila ku koncu, moje nadšenie sa jemne vytrácalo. Asi to je dosť subjektívne, no vyrušovala ma (ne)logika (ne)nádväznosti jednotlivých tém. Alebo možno len tých tém bolo priveľa, ktovie.
Kniha však určite stojí za prečítanie, sledovanie toho, čo ľudia skutočne vyhľadávajú vie byť zábavné, nečakané a občas i desivé.
