Distrust: Big Data, Data-Torturing, and the Assault on Science
Smith, Gary (Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics, Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics, Pomona College)
This book argues that our growing distrust of science is fuelled by tools scientists themselves created, as technological advances and developments in data analysis have led to disinformation, data torturing, and data mining. Smith examines these issues and offers solutions for restoring the credibility of the scientific community.
