Book Review – Dataclysm

Dataclysm: Who We Are*
*When We Think No One’s Looking
By Christian Rudder, 2014

By analyzing OKCupid (the dating site) data and publicly available data, this book looks for interesting trends in user data. While there are certainly some interesting tidbits, I found the book to be annoyingly informal. There were lots of vague “current” references that were quickly outdated as soon as the book was published. It felt more like a series of blog posts than a book.
