The world we live in today, where everything is tracked by corporations and governments, originates with one manic, elusive, utterly unique man—as prone to bullying as he was to fits of surpassing generosity and surprising genius. His name was Hank Asher, and his life was a strange and spectacular show that changed the course of the future.
An engaging, cautiously admiring, portrait of Hank Asher (1951-2013), the 'father of data fusion,' someone most of us have never heard of ... Readers whose tech savvy is limited to turning off their laptop during a thunderstorm will appreciate Mr. Funk’s ability to explain complex technology in accessible terms.
By following the colorful character of Hank Asher, The Hank Show succeeds in demonstrating how truly sinister the credit bureaus may actually be — worse even than Facebook.
A timely book that reads like a Hunter S. Thompson adventure. A recommended purchase for libraries with computer science, public policy, or current events collections.
