About this listen
Insightful, surprising and with groundbreaking revelations about our society, Everybody Lies exposes the secrets embedded in our Internet searches, with a foreword by best-selling author Steven Pinker.
Everybody lies, to friends, lovers, doctors, pollsters - and to themselves. In Internet searches, however, people confess their secrets - about sexless marriages, mental health problems, even racist views. Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, an economist and former Google data scientist, shows that this could just be the most important dataset ever collected.
This huge database of secrets - unprecedented in human history - offers astonishing, even revolutionary insights into humankind. Anxiety, for instance, does not increase after a terrorist attack. Crime levels drop when a violent film is released. And racist searches are no higher in Republican areas than in Democrat ones.
Stephens-Davidowitz reveals 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. Insightful, funny and always surprising, Everybody Lies exposes the biases and secrets embedded deeply within us, at a time when things are harder to predict than ever.

Interesting insights and thought provoking!
The narrator did an excellent job and you may feel like he was talking to you. The book provides interesting insights to the way world behaves and it's thought provoking. Sometimes it is scary to know how much others can know about someone using data and ethical usage of that data is hard to determine. The book also discusses the limitations of big data and over all it is an excellent to go through.

Trend setting!
Started the book not knowing what to expect. Blown away by its unique ideas. Did finish the book. Do you think i am lying?

Great narrator but book could have gone into more detail
What I enjoyed:
1) The narrator
2) The author's writing style that made this book easy to follow
What I did not:
1) the book skimps on details a little bit and is very US focused (not a bad thing but surely, Google has data on countries other than the US?)

Really good book
An honest book about big data, their strengths, drawbacks and future. Really good book for beginners in data science. Puts a lot of common questions in perspective. Would strongly recommend
