Ahoy there mateys! Back in the day, I read a book called Freaknomics which uses statistics to answer questions like “What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?” This book is the next generation’s dive into statistics. Some of the questions answered in this book include “What percentage of white voters didn’t vote for Barack Obama because he’s black?” and “Do violent films affect the crime rate?” and some not so serious ones. This book delves into “big data” like Google search engine queries to explore the bigger questions about “economics to ethics to sports to race to sex, gender and more.” I loved it! The audiobook was fantastic even if I can’t recall any facts from this off the top of me noggin. It was thought-provoking and I would certainly listen to it again.
