The New York Times Bestseller and Economist Book of the Year 2017, "Everybody Lies," offers insightful and surprising revelations about our society. It uncovers the secrets hidden in our internet searches, with a foreword by bestselling author Steven Pinker.

In this book, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, an economist and former Google data scientist, reveals that while people often lie to friends, lovers, doctors, and pollsters, they confess their secrets through internet searches—disclosing information about sexless marriages, mental health issues, and even racist views. This vast dataset of secrets is unprecedented in human history and provides astonishing, even revolutionary insights into humanity. For example, fear does not increase after a terrorist attack, crime rates drop when a violent movie is released, and racist search queries are not higher.
