Big Data (ATOM Study Guide)

'Our goal is to help people better understand, visualise and navigate the wild and uncharted territory of Big Data.' – Rick Smolan

The Human Face of Big Data is a multi-platform media project that explores the world of Big Data. The project's intention is to start a global conversation about an information revolution that tracks our existence in ways never before possible. The book, interactive viewer app, iPad ebook and documentary invite us to consider the promise and the peril of humanity's ability to collect, analyse and visualise the vast amounts of data generated by modern existence.
