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

4.0

Fascinating, educational read. Talks about with the development and progression of the digital age, we finally can learn more about the contents of people's thoughts or, in the words of the author "we can finally see through people's lies." A good example the author uses is how all the traditional polls during the 2016 presidential election did not predict the election of Donald Trump, however if people had turned to google searches, they would have been able to predict his victory and this is because people lie ... they lie to their friends, family, strangers, but they are truthful with google. Would definitely recommend as it introduces new data relevant in this modern, technological age on people, their reactions, thoughts, worries and of course, their google searches.
