AN FT BUSINESS BOOK OF THE MONTH 'An essential read' Diane Coyle, University of Cambridge 'We are currently living in a moment of extreme pessimism about data.

Good Data examines the incredible new ways this information explosion is already helping us – whether that's combating inequality, creating jobs, advancing the frontiers of knowledge or protecting us from coronavirus.
