We are constantly bombarded with claims on how artificial intelligence, big data and other advances in technology and science is going to improve our everyday life. These claims oversell and underdeliver the actual capabilities. This book explain the mechanisms at work and attempts to provide actionable advice on how to to improve. One example of the advice provided is to improve education around the known pitfalls of our current technology. An other example and perhaps the most useful advice is stated in the title: Distrust!

The book goes from one topic to the next a bit without any clear direction. I would still recommend this book to everybody in technology, especially if you are in to artificial intelligence, big data or blockchain technology.
