«Numerati» is Stephen Baker's technology nonfiction essay, published by Seix Barral in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Stephen Baker shows how every call, payment or click is recorded in large databases, and how an elite of mathematicians, the Numerati, works for companies, governments and political parties modeling human behavior: what we buy, who we vote for or whom we love, with effects on privacy and conduct.
Numerati belongs to the Biblioteca Abierta collection and was published in Barcelona in October 2009.
For readers of essays and nonfiction interested in technology, data and the social impact of mass analytics.
