Big Data is everywhere. It shapes our lives in more ways than we
know and understand. This comprehensive introduction unravels the
complex terabytes that will continue to shape our lives in ways
imagined and unimagined. Drawing on case studies like Amazon,
Facebook, the FIFA World Cup and the Aadhaar scheme, this book
looks at how Big Data is changing the way we behave, consume and
respond to situations in the digital age. It looks at how Big Data
has the potential to transform disaster management and healthcare,
as well as prove to be authoritarian and exploitative in the wrong
hands. The latest offering from the authors of Artificial
Intelligence: Evolution, Ethics and Public Policy, this accessibly
written volume is essential for the researcher in science and
technology studies, media and culture studies, public policy and
digital humanities, as well as being a beacon for the general
reader to make sense of the digital age.
