Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This book gives a quick look through the history of data up to current times from the perspective of an English major that ended up becoming a data professional without writing code (I'm a little jealous).

Each of the stories was quick, interesting and relatable - I felt that the author did a great job connecting historical events to how data is used today. There were several points made throughout the book that really resonated to me as a data scientist - including how no model is perfect but focusing on if it's better than the alternatives.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in data, it acts as a good intro to data and analytics that is also very readable for someone well-versed in the subject.

Interesting books... Data is everywhere and often funny and often scary. Thanks for the advance read and good luck to the author.
