What do our Google searches reveal about who we really are? For a new book, What We Ask Google, data analyst Simon Rogers explores the world’s biggest dataset - billions of searches carried out over two decades - to provide a revealing portrait of our collective brain. In this episode, he speaks to Carl Miller about what the data reveals—from how we process grief and loneliness, to how we seek to understand our health, to “nowcasting” and how our search data can anticipate future trends. Along the way, he uncovers some unexpected cultural trends: in Paris, the most searched-for food is pizza; in the UK, parents look for children’s parkour classes, while in the US, it’s etiquette and croquet. If social media is where we perform, he says, our search data is a more honest reflection of our interests, offering a window into humanity's endless gift for curiosity.  Simon Rogers is Google’s Data Editor. What We Ask Google is available online and in stores now. Carl Miller is an author and researcher at Demos.

  • Springtime is my catalyst to switch out the major players in my closet and take stock

  • of what I have and have n't been wearing over the last year.

  • It's a great time to get a bit more intentional about what you're wearing day to day.

  • And if I'm getting rid of anything, I want to make sure that I'm replacing it with quality pieces.

  • And I've been turning to Quince for that so often recently.

  • Their clothes are made really well and priced even better.

  • So it makes shopping for and wearing their pieces simple.

  • Quince uses premium materials like organic cotton and ultra soft denim,

  • and their lightweight linen pants, dresses, and tops start at just $30.

  • They've also got incredible accessories.

  • I just picked up a cognac Italian leather sling bag, which is a huge upgrade from the crossbody that I have been using.

  • The leather itself is really beautiful, and I also love the gold hardware it comes with.

  • I think it's just such a sleek bag.

  • Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands because they work directly

  • with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen.

  • So you're paying for the quality and craftsmanship of the products, but not a brand markup.

  • Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use.

  • Head to quince. com slash intelligence for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.

  • Now available in Canada too.
