The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-But Some Don't by Nate Silver
4.0
An enjoyable read on predictions and forecastsing. It’s non-technical, filled with good real-world examples, and has a clear message: the future is probabilistic. Probably :)
I can recommend reading it to anyone working with, or interested in, data, forecasting, or predictions and its everyday applications.
Pick up the updated 2020 edition if possible. Its preface links the contents to recent developments as the 2016 US elections and the COVID-19 pandemic.
