The Little Book of Data (HarperCollins)
Friday, 11 July 2025

Subtitled "Understanding the Powerful Analytics that Fuel AI, Make or Break Careers, and Could Just End Up Saving the World", in this book Justin Evans shows how data is not about number crunching. It's about ideas, and that AI is just an accelerated way to put data to work. Each chapter illustrates one of the core principles of solving problems with data by featuring an expert who has solved a big problem with data, from the entrepreneur creating a “loneliness score” to the epidemiologist trying to save lives by finding disease “hotspots.”
