His accessible writing makes his data analysis approachable, as he explains how data analysis like his works and how analysts utilize data sets. He also covers relevant advances in analytics. Building from his ground-breaking political research, he discusses sociology, psychology, economics, medicine and crime. Be forewarned: Stephens-Davidowitz discusses his and others’ research into racism, child abuse, sexuality and pornography in stark terms, including specific racial slurs used in the research. This startling overview is informed reading for anyone seeking to understand how big data can shape contemporary life and attitudes.
