Book review: big data: a revolution that will transform how we live, work, and think

In Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think, two of the world’s most-respected data experts reveal the reality of a big data world and outline clear and actionable steps that will equip the reader with the tools needed for this next phase of human evolution. Niccolo Tempini finds that rather than showing how the impact of data-driven innovations will advance the march of humankind, the authors merely present a thin collection of happy-ending business stories. Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think. Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schonberger. Hodder. March 2013.
