review 1: The Numerati is like the People Magazine of Big Data, circa 2008. It introduces you to specific data analysts, where they work and what problems they are trying to solve, with vague references to "math" and "regressions", along with speculation on what data analysis portends for the future. This book seems a bit quaint in the post-Snowden era, not entirely useless as an historical document, but I'd recommend Super Crunchers by Ian Ayres over this book, because it's written by an actual practitioner.
review 2: None of this book is rocket surgery--or even Statistics 101, for that matter; there is no practical data analysis "how-to". But it is an entertaining survey of the common ways data on our actions is currently being collected, collated, and interpreted for ... morebusiness interests; and the author introduces some future possibilities for expansion of Big Data (before the term was coined?), such as personalized healthcare. less
