According to Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind, “In this timely and compelling book, Stephen Baker pulls back the curtain on the number-crunchers who have insinuated themselves into our lives. You’ll be amazed, alarmed—and, at times, even inspired—by the power of this new geek elite to predict whom we’ll marry, what we’ll buy, and how we’ll vote.”
Stephen Baker has written for BusinessWeek for over twenty years, covering Mexico and Latin America, the Rust Belt, European technology, and a host of other topics, including blogs, math, and nanotechnology. Baker has written for publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Globe. He won an Overseas Press Club Award for his portrait of the rising Mexican auto industry. He is the coauthor of blogspotting.net, featured by the New York Times as one of fifty blogs to watch. |
