Everybody Lies: What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz

1.0

Remarkable in its ability to evoke freakonomics and inability to be as compelling. The author has interesting ideas but needs better editing or direction. The conclusion stands out for two reasons - that the end of the book is finally here, and for the amount of times the author mentions how important a good conclusion is, how he hopes to create a good one, how he is planning to spend 6 months crafting it ... all without generating much in the way of an actual conclusion.
The best idea in the book is that there are ethical concerns about using big data. Shame it’s not mentioned till 3/4 of the way through, and that it’s not further examined.
