STEPHEN BAKER
Tuesday, September 30 at 8 p.m.

This lively month comes to an eventful close with longtime BusinessWeek writer and much-read blogger (Blogspotting.net) Stephen Baker here to talk about his provocative, vital new book, The Numerati (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). "Baker puts his finger on perhaps the most important cultural trend today: the explosion of data about every aspect of our world and the rise of applied-math gurus who know how to use it. Baker's smart, readable style makes this a pleasure—it's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand life and business in the Google Age." - Chris Anderson. "A story about human invention, creativity, and the thirst to understand and predict human behavior in the digital age." - Dan Ariely.
