Abstract

In Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Part II (1974), Michael Corleone said, “There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.’’ In Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002), ‘‘Pre-Crime’’ is a specialized police department that apprehends criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics named ‘‘precogs’’ in the year 2054. Facebook nation exists in the intersection of humanities and sciences, somewhere in between the fictional worlds of The Godfather Part II and Minority Report.

You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.

—Facebook Data Team (2008)

I think that big data is going to become humanity’s dashboard.

—Photographer Rick Smolan (2012)

He didn’t know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and a butterfly there must be some distinction! This is a case of what is called the transformation of things.

—Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi (circa 300 AD)
