Whether you’ll marry, commit a crime or fall victim to one, or contract a disease are becoming easily accessible facts. The naked future is upon us, and the implications are staggering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Tucker draws on fascinating stories from health care to urban planning to online dating. He shows how scientists can predict your behavior based on your friends’ Twitter updates, anticipate the weather a year from now, figure out the time of day you’re most likely to slip back into a bad habit, and guess how well you’ll do on a test before you take it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTucker knows that the rise of Big Data is not always a good thing. But he also shows how we’ve gained tremendous benefits that we have yet to fully realize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Tucker\u003c\/b\u003e is the technology editor of\u003ci\u003e Defense One\u003c\/i\u003e and the former deputy editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Futurist \u003c\/i\u003emagazine.
