Fluke: Change, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters
Myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas deep dives into the phenomenon of randomness, dismantling our neat and tidy storybook version of events to reveal a reality far wilder, and more fascinating, than we have dared to previously consider.
Offering an entirely new lens through which to explore how our world is driven by strange interactions and apparently random events, Fluke draws on social science, chaos theory, history, evolutionary biology, and philosophy to provide a brilliantly fresh look at why things happen, while also doling out mind-bending lessons on how to live smarter, be happier, and lead more fulfilling lives.
"Provocative and compelling, Fluke brings the complex relationship between order and chaos vividly alive." -- New Scientist
