A review by dekaj
Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us about Who We Really Are by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz

2.0

For how much this book praises Google, I would've believed it was written in 2013. It might be interesting to see what the author thinks today.

I really wanted to like this book. I work in data science, and was interested to see if I could get some new insights. Unfortunately, this book feels more like a collection of random facts about google-searches.
I think listening to the audio book was a mistake. Maybe this would've been better If I could've more easily skipped ahead.

The author ends the book by almost shaming the reader for having read so far. And I agree — I really shouldn't have given this book so much of my time.
