Description
"KMO surveys the emerging statistical panopticon with Stephen Baker, author of the Numerati. How much do we reveal about ourselves and our lives via the information that leaks out from our cell phones, web browsers, and credit card purchases? Who collects that information, and what can they deduce about us by applying arcane mathematical methodologies to the statistical detritus of our lives?"
