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.
