About this ebook
Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz: Conversation Starters
Everybody Lies is a new novel by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz. Everybody Lies shares the surprising, intriguing, and at times, shocking results of the data that Seth Stephens-Davidowitz collected by studying Google search results and Google Trends. Topics that Stephens-Davidowitz offers data about are sex, gender, race, economics, ethics, and much more. Stephens-Davidowitz uses his data to show what people are really thinking and living in order to help people understand the world and live better lives. All of the data boils down to one thing, however: Everybody is lying.
Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz became a New York Times bestseller in 2017. It has been called "Freakonomics on steroids" by Raj Chetty, Stanfords' Professor of Economics. The Library Journey calls it "pivotal," and The Economist says it is a "whirlwind tour" of how humans are thinking.
