Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us about Who We Really Are by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz
5.0
So. Much. Data.
If you want to keep your cards to your chest and not tell anyone what you’re doing and thinking and wanting, that’s probably the smart move. If you don’t care what happens to your data, give it to Google, so scientists can tell me weird and wonderful and creepy stuff about people. Big Data is as fun as it is concerning. I kind of want to be a data analyst now and find out, how people work.
If Stephens-Davidowitz ever writes that second book he proposes in the conclusion, I’d like to see Mary Roach co-write it. It would be amazing.
