Veeeeery important. Aside from being prepared technically - if we're not prepared psychologically for the automated world that's coming, it will drive some of us nuts. Some of us will simply not be ready for it, completely misinterpret the symptoms of an automated world, and waste time trying to prevent it, or worse. Also, I'm curious to read about some of the less well-known algorithms. We've all heard of the algorithms used to help identify credit card fraud, for example. But the analysis of baseball statistics? This is going to be interesting. Pre-ordered this. Veeeeery important.
