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

5.0

---

Nonfiction palate cleanser. Really interesting look at big data, how the internet is a wealth of information for those who want to study human behavior and trends. Some definitely creepy info about how companies (like Google and FB) run experiments to see what we like better all the time without our knowledge. And contains a great discussion of morality in data collection, as well as an easily understood explanation of correlation vs causation
