Featured Title
Death by Data
Second Edition
The Cost expands on the themes first introduced in Death by Data—a full-color reckoning with the analytics revolution that turned the national pastime into a spreadsheet, and the people who refuse to let it. The book is where the argument begins; the series is where it deepens.
