Translated by 賴盈滿 ...

Series series FROM
大數據時代必讀的暗數據解析大作。「只因為沒有人在森林裡聽見樹倒了，不代表樹沒發出聲音。」我們都習慣看向光亮之處，但是黑暗中，看不見的事物裡，必定藏有更多決定性細節。◆本書賣點●《不大可能法則》作者全新著作。所謂暗數據，相當於宇宙中的暗物質、金融界的「黑池」、網路世界的「暗網」，都是不易察覺的事物，但觀察不到，不代表不存在；而觀察得到的東西，也不等於「全部」，尤其是數據。●大數據就像漫畫一般，以簡單幾筆，補捉基本的輪廓，簡化了很多細節。忽略的資訊或數據可能鬧出人命、釀成災害，甚至讓經濟體、社會崩解，生命毀滅。本書揭露暗數據無所不在的事實，其成因及影響。◆內容簡介//在遺漏數據的世界裡做出好決定的務實指南//身處大數據時代，不難以為我們... ...
