Just finished reading Fooled By Randomness, a very interesting book. The author appears just a tad bit eccentric and somewhat arrogant at times, but the central thesis of the book is quite interesting – we tend to assign too much determinism to things when often times, all there really is is randomness. The author makes his points eloquently and most of the time quite convincingly. Whether you agree with the hypothesis or not, I can definitely recommend the book.
