The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

5.0

I really enjoyed reading this book. In a time where more and more of what we do is based on data, technology, and associated predictions, Black Swan offers a refreshing new sound. We cannot predict everything, and attempting to do so can be harmful.

Personal note: right around the time I finished the book, Daft Punk announced their retirement. It’s probably not the type of event the book is talking about, but I consider it a personal mini black swan. Or maybe it’s dark gray.
