75101 NUMERATI: How They’ll Get My Number and Yours


by Stephen Baker Most of us have experienced the cookie warnings that mean your internet browsing habits are being used for predictive purposes. Data analysis is also used to predict habits and trends outside consumerism, for instance in politics, and for many people this is a threat. American political analysts have divided voters into types, with such labels as Hearth Keepers, Barn Raisers and Inner Compass, and when he hears about this the author ventures into a coffee shop to see if he can spot any tell-tale signs. Sex, health and terrorism all get the same treatment. In this racy and fascinating book the author aims to


demythologise the process of data collection,


explaining exactly what the number-crunchers can do and more importantly what they can not do. Human life and behaviour is still too complicated for many analytical strategies. So you can sleep at nights. For now. 244pp, paperback.
