How Data Happened by Chris Wiggins, Matthew L. Jones

I liked the title of this book and thought this might be an interesting read; I work with databases every day so my life is data.  There is interesting material in the book but it can be dense so sometimes takes a little time to get through. It covers a wide range of topics from Guiness to Bletchley Park to AI. 

The authors do note that data can be manipulated and I wonder sometimes what the authors have done with their work but overall an interesting read.
