**Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us about Who We Really Are**

Everybody lies, to friends, lovers, doctors, pollsters – and to themselves. In Internet
searches, however, people confess the truth.

Insightful, funny and always surprising, _Everybody Lies _explores how this huge
collection of data, unprecedented in human history, could just be the most important
ever collected. It offers astonishing insights into the human psyche, revealing 
the biases deeply embedded within us, the questions we’re afraid to ask that might
be essential to our well-being, and the information we can use to change our culture
for the better.
