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

3.0

This book is fascinating, depressing, and informative. It is at its best when he is not discussing the biggest data, but explaining correlation and causation, and the importance of creativity in the questions we ask of data. The biggest data, what we actually enter in Google search boxes, is a sad disclosure of the human condition- maybe. Point off for his disparaging library comments; point back for quoting Kundera in regard to data analysis.
