THE HIDDEN LANGUAGE OF DATA

Why information is the world's most traded currency

Data is the world’s most traded currency—and you’re spending it every day without looking at your receipts. The Hidden Language of Data decodes those invisible transactions in plain English: what data actually is, how phones and websites collect it, how companies turn tiny signals into big decisions, and why that matters for your privacy, your schoolwork, and your future. Short chapters, real examples, and a few laugh-out-loud metaphors make a dry topic suddenly useful.

This classroom-friendly guide gives you the map and the toolkit: spot trackers, understand profiling and bias, weigh trade-offs, and take simple steps to protect yourself and your community. Perfect for curious teens, parents, and anyone who wants to stop being surprised by the internet. Read this book and start recognizing the systems shaping your choices—before they recognize you.
