On the edge : the art of risking everything

Silver, Nate, 1978- author

Overview

In the bestselling 'The Signal and the Noise', Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely book, Silver investigates 'The River,' or those whose mastery of risk allows them to shape - and dominate - so much of modern life. These professional risk takers - poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and blue-chip art collectors - can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the 21st century. By embedding within these worlds, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI. The River has increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset - including the flaws in their thinking - is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today.
