William Poundstone is the author of fourteen books, including the international bestseller Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google? He lives in Los Angeles.
‘Vivid [and] fascinating’
*Guardian*
‘[Poundstone’s] underlying argument is both valid and vital. As he
notes in his prologue, "the most important outguessing machine is
the one known as Big Data". Shannon's mind-reading technology has
become unavoidable and ubiquitous’
*New Scientist*
'Poundstone calls on a fascinating array of examples to demonstrate
his point. But be warned: these insights may not help much longer
now that Poundstone has blabbed them. So read it quick' (5/5
Stars)
*BBC Focus*
'Poundstone is a smart thinker, a deft writer and a spinner of
engaging tales… enjoyable and original’
*Tim Harford*
‘Highly entertaining… brilliant’
*E&T magazine*
'Ingenious... a delightful addition to the
everything-you-thought-you-knew-is-wrong genre.'
*Kirkus Reviews*
'Intriguing and immensely useful.'
*Publishers Weekly*
'Fascinating... it's all gold-dust... this could save
you real money'
*The Bookbag*
