Michael Byers - Percival's Planet

Byers's a careful mathematician of the heart when calculating the trajectory of affection.

Now, in one of the greatest undertakings of the 21st century, a savvy group of mathematicians and computer scientists is beginning to sift through this data to profile us as workers, shoppers, patients, voters, potential terrorists, even lovers. Their goal? To manipulate our behavior – what we buy, how we vote – without our even realizing it.
