How much sex are people really having? How many Americans are actually racist? Is America experiencing a hidden back-alley abortion crisis? Can you game the stock market? Does violent entertainment increase the rate of violent crime? Do parents treat sons differently from daughters? How many people actually read the books they buy? In this groundbreaking work Seth Stephens-Davidowitz a Harvard-trained economist former Google data scientist and New York Times writer argues that much of what we thought about people has been dead wrong. The reason? People lie to friends lovers doctors surveys?and themselves. However we no longer need to rely on what people tell us. New data from the internet?the traces of information that billions of people leave on Google social media dating and even pornography sites?finally reveals the truth. By analyzing this digital goldmine we can now learn what people really think what they really want and what they really do. Sometimes the new data will make you laugh out loud. Sometimes the new data will shock you. Sometimes the new data will deeply disturb you. But always this new data will make you think. Everybody Lies combines the informed analysis of Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise the storytelling of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers and the wit and fun of Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's Freakonomics in a book that will change the way you view the world. There is almost no limit to what can be learned about human nature from Big Data?provided that is you ask the right questions.
