The Data Religion - chap 11 from Homo Deus - A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari

Sharing because this chapter provides insight into the dataism at work in the quantified covid world today.

Harari defines himself as both a historian and a philosopher. He dwells particularly on the possibility that biometric monitoring, coupled with advanced computing, will give corporations and governments access to more complete data about people—about their desires and liabilities—than people have about themselves.
