520    "In this book, David Sumpter takes an algorithm-strewn 
       journey to the dark side of mathematics. He investigates 
       the equations that analyse us, influence us and will 
       (maybe) become like us, answering questions such as: Are 
       Google algorithms racist and sexist? ; Why do election 
       predictions fail so drastically? ; What does the future 
       hold as we relinquish our decision-making to machines? 
       Featuring interviews with those working at the cutting 
       edge of algorithm research, along with a healthy dose of 
       mathematical self-experiment, Outnumbered will explain how
       mathematics and statistics work in the real world, and 
       what we should and shouldn't worry about."--from book
