DESCRIPTION:We cannot approach the oracle on our own\; when we come to the 
	oracle alone we hear only so much itching and scratching\; we need a pries
	t who can interpret for us\, who can stand in the presence of the oracle a
	nd decipher and forecast.\n\nAt times\, in his book The Signal and the Noi
	se\, Nate Silver suggests that everyone\, himself included\, can make accu
	rate predictions if only we would be modest and careful. At other times\, 
	though\, he writes as if he has a priestly privilege of reading “the sig
	nal” (what is meaningful and predictive) in “the noise” (all the oth
	er data). If we’re not Nate Silver or similarly equipped to hear the mea
	ning in the data noise\, what are we to do? We live in the age of “Big D
	ata\,” in which many facets of our lives are increasingly monitored\, ca
	lculated\, and monetized\, mostly without our knowledge\; the layperson is
	 as alienated as ever from the means of prediction and production\, which 
	are ethereal and godlike in the “cloud.” What does it mean to live in 
	such a world?\n\n
