"The book is divided into 10 chapters: the first two deal with demystifying the jargon associated with the field of Big Data and the author’s journey from being a math geek since her childhood to an insider who saw the ‘dark’ side of equations and models. The remaining chapters focus on how these models are covertly working to exploit the hidden insecurities in human psychology in the fields of education, advertising, job markets, credit and insurance assessments."
