Data-ism: The Revolution Transforming Decision Making, Consumer Behavior, and Almost Everything Else | |
Steve Lohr, a technology reporter for the New York Times, chronicles the rise of Big Data, addressing cutting-edge business strategies and examining the dark side of a data-driven world.
Coal, iron ore, and oil were the key productive assets that fueled the Industrial Revolution. Today, Data is the vital raw material of the information economy. The explosive abundance of this digital asset, more than doubling every two years, is creating a new world of opportunity and challenge.
Data-ism is about this next phase, in which vast, Internet-scale data sets are used for discovery and prediction in virtually every field. It is a journey across this emerging world with people, illuminating narrative examples, and insights. It shows that, if exploited, this new revolution will change the way decisions are made—relying more on data and analysis, and less on intuition and experience—and transform the nature of leadership and management.
Lohr explains how individuals and institutions will need to exploit, protect, and manage their data to stay competitive in the coming years. Filled with rich examples and anecdotes of the various ways in which the rise of Big Data is affecting everyday life it raises provocative questions about policy and practice that have wide implications for all of our lives.

I've read a lot of the recent "big data is coming" type books. I have to as part of my job.
I would give this one the pass, definitely. Unacceptably large chunks of it are the bios of various big data visionaries, which are only minimally interesting. In the end I don't think the author has any insights that anybody else doesn't have.
Viktor Mayer-Schönberger's "Big Data" is a LOT better. It's the book this one wanted to be.
An enjoyable exploration of one of the most important business trends driven by the stories of some of the smartest people alive. The book is a good mixture of business insight and personal stories about the people who are figuring out how to make the world better, faster, cleaner and more efficient by making some sense of the bazillion bits of data we collect each day.
