Big Data is a new book from Viktor Mayer-Schonberger, a respected
Internet governance theorist; and Kenneth Cukier, a long-time technology
journalist who's been on the Economist's for many years. As the title and
pedigree imply, this is a business-oriented book about "Big Data," a
computational approach to business, regulation, science and entertainment
that uses data-mining applied to massive, Internet-connected data-sets to
learn things that previous generations weren't able to see because their
data was too thin and diffuse.
Big Data is an eminently practical and sensible book, but it's also an
exciting and excitable text, one that conveys enormous enthusiasm for the
field and its fruits.
