Washington Post (by Jordan Ellenberg)
"It’s undeniable that Rudder and his fellow data-holders can see and analyze behavior previously invisible to science."

Wall Street Journal (by Jane Stewart Adams)
"Christian Rudder’s “Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One’s Looking)” stands firmly in this tradition, claiming that, in order to understand racism, sexism and bias, we must look to the patterns in large numbers of individual instances."

Hufftington Post (by Phil Simon)
"Rudder's writing style is remarkable for a statistician. His use of data visualizations buttress his larger points and the book's overall theme. They tell stories in ways that words simply cannot."

Scientific American (by Clara Moskowitz)
The book is special because it presents results from actual human actions instead of experiments and surveys. It gives exposes human behavior that most people would hide in public.

Kirkus Reviews
"The author is inclined to let the numbers speak for themselves without overlaying too much interpretation, though on race, he becomes impatient."
