Summary:
"
What
the vast amounts of information now instantly available to
us
reveals
about
ourselves - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive
us
, and the conscious and unconscious decisions
we
make. Fascinating, surprising, and sometimes laugh-out-loud insights into everything from economics to ethics to sports to race to sex, gender and more, all drawn from the world of
big
data
.
What
percentage of white voters didn't vote for Barack Obama because he's black? Does where you go to school effect how successful you are in life? The author reveals biases deeply embedded within
us
, information
we
can
use to change our culture, and the questions
we
're afraid to ask that might be essential to our health, both emotional and physical. All of
us
are touched by
big
data
everyday, and its influence is multiplying.
Everybody
Lies
challenges
us
to think differently
about
how
we
see it and the world. Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a former Google
data
scientist."--Provided by publisher.
