Calling Bullshit: The Art of Scepticism in a Data-Driven World
Description:
A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020\n'A modern classic. . . leaves the reader feeling a very particular kind of smarter: the empowered kind' Wired\nWe think we know bullshit when we hear it, but do we?\nTwo science professors give us the tools to dismantle misinformation and think clearly in a world of fake news and bad data\nPoliticians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Start-up culture elevates hype to high art. The world is awash in bullshit, and we're drowning in it.\nBased on a popular course at the University of Washington, this book gives us the tools to see through the obfuscations, deliberate and careless, that dominate every realm of our lives. In this lively, provocative guide, biologist Carl Bergstrom and data scientist Jevin West show that calling out nonsense is crucial to a properly functioning social group, whether it be a circle of friends, a community of researchers, or the citizens of a nation.\nThrough six rules of thumb, they help us to recognize when numbers are being manipulated, to cut through the crap wherever we encounter it - even within ourselves - and learn how to give the real facts to a crystal-loving friend or climate change denier uncle.\nCalling Bullshit is an indispensable handbook to the art of scepticism.
