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

5.0

This book was a bit tedious to me but only because I’d recently read an almost identical book called Dataclysm. Both of these books referenced numerous of the same studies, and had a LOT in common in the ways of humor, areas covered, and examples used. This book was more specifically focused on google search data, and, I believe the author is a bit closer to the origin of this type of research, so if I had to recommend one to choose, it might be this. Dataclysm was slightly more focused on data related to dating sites, which may appeal more to some readers. All in all this is a great, high level explanation for ANYONE interested about statistics/big data/inference
