Fortune's Formula: The Untold Story of the Scientific Betting System That Beat the Casinos and Wall Street by William Poundstone

3.0

I liked aspects of this book - I was barely aware of Shannon, so I really like the introduction to his theories. The story is incredible overall, but I found the stock market stuff (the second half, roughly) less interesting and less understandable to me.

With that said, I would recommend this book to people who are nerdy in certain ways.
