Each chapter zooms in on a specific number and talks about what it is and why it’s interesting. 

I’ve got a number they didn’t mention: 68%. That’s how far into this book you have to get before you discover that women exist. Many, many (mostly White) men feature in this book. Yet you can count the number of women on one hand. And one of them was only there to read a line from a play (written by a man, naturally).

Interesting? Yes. But it’s interesting that’s about data can manage to present such a skewed picture.
