Description
Dataclysm: A New Approach to Understanding Human Behavior Christian Rudder's Dataclysm is an audacious investigation into human behavior, using personal data to reveal surprising insights into our online and offline selves. By analyzing vast amounts of data from social media platforms, Rudder shows how researchers can now study human behavior in unprecedented ways. From the impact of Facebook "likes" on identity and relationships, to the dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter, Dataclysm explores the new frontiers of data science and its implications for our understanding of ourselves. With wit and insight, Rudder grapples with the challenges of maintaining privacy in a world where personal data is increasingly used to shape our lives. This book offers a fresh perspective on human behavior, one that combines math and narrative to tell the story of our time.
