This is the most interesting book written in recent times illustrating how big data is transforming our daily lives. \u00a0Computing power has increased so rapidly in the past decade that the capacity to process and analyze data has grown exponentially. The examples outlined in this book are thought provoking. Examples such as the predicting flu outbreaks based on analyzing Google search results and predicting water main breaks. This book illustrates how powerful computers have become in recent years by drawing on examples of its usage in all facets of the world. Beyond where we have come from, the book also does a great job of looking forward to where big data is heading and provides warning on how to use data ethically and effectively. For anyone interested in where the future of computing is heading, this is the book for you.<\/p>\n
