Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment by Cass R. Sunstein, Oliver Sibony, Daniel Kahneman
3.5
A must-read for those interested in human judgement, research, or even just society at large- ‘Noise’ was a fascinating investigation into error, specifically the kind that we consider invisible. It’s the errors that we encounter in our everyday, yet give no thought to, and I’d love to see this topic explored more in the future.
For all my appreciation for the topic of the book, it was definitely a slow-read for me. Very technical, especially in the beginning chapters, with application and consideration coming later- so not the most ‘hooked’ of reads, but interesting nonetheless.
The way the book is divided into segments also makes for much easier reading if you were only interested in a specific subject area, and makes for great navigation between technical explanations, and later human application.
Overall a fascinating topic, delved into with much consideration.
