Big Data by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger
A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think
Examines how the exponential growth of digital data and advances in storage and analytics are transforming how we understand, predict, and shape the world—shifting decision-making from small-sample causation to large-scale pattern recognition and correlation. It outlines the opportunities for businesses, science and government to gain predictive power, while warning of risks such as privacy erosion, misleading correlations, algorithmic bias and diminished human judgment, and calls for new forms of transparency, accountability and governance to manage those consequences.
