Everydata: The Misinformation Hidden in the Little Data You Consume Every Day by John H. Johnson and Mike Gluck
We see different types of data throughout the day. From the few bytes of data that represent the time on the alarm clock, to the megabytes representing pictures and videos, we are constantly bombarded. Understanding what the data contains continues to be a challenge. Sometimes the data is intentionally cherry-picked to help encourage a certain response. Other times, the changes may be unintentional. We are are also likely to be more influenced by anecdotes than the true data. The book, like others provides hints on how we can identify the "truth" behind the data we see.
