A review by jegutman
Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil

5.0

This book deserves a lot of credit for discussing an important issue that doesn't get enough attention. I don't agree with many of the points made in the book, especially some of the recommended solutions, but it's still an important set of issues to discuss.

If you're interested in the world of big data, data science, or any form of data modeling, this book is a valuable tool to understand how the use of data models have consequences that are easy to miss but that are important to consider.
