Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy

It's a really good book. I recommend anyone who wants to know how statistics can be done incorrectly or tweaked to what the user wants and the impacts it can have on entire nations. Though, there were two things I did notice. It said that Bush's won in Florida by a little over 500 votes. Yes, he did, but that was the popular vote (I feel like that should have been clarified). There was another statistic she called out earlier in the book, I can't recall at the moment, that was not exactly correct. These are just knits, though. Still a good read.
