Nassim Nicholas Taleb in Wired Magazine

April 8th, 2007 by Andrew · No Comments

Mathematics, finance and foresight guru, and Pop!Tech 2005 speaker Nassim Nicholas Taleb is interviewed in this month’s Wired Magazine by James Surowiecki on the limits, biases and flaws in humanity’s ability to see the future. Nicholas’ latest book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable (a follow-up to his also terrific 2005 cult hit, Fooled by Randomness) will be released on April 17th. Nicholas has an incredibly wide-reaching conceptual palette, and his insights are applicable to every human domain, from industry to homeland security, where human beings try to see what’s next. The Black Swan should be considered a 2007 must-read.
