Uncertainty takes us on a journey through ancient philosophy, to renaissance mathematicians, to modern machine learning practitioners. It discusses how our minds and our brains handle uncertainty, and how and why the uncertainty caused by humans might be unconquerable. It also discusses modern technological developments, such as machine learning and blockchain, and explains how they affect the economy and the world around us.
It’s not easy to treat a complicated subject like uncertainty within the confines of a single book. A full treatment of uncertainty has to take into account many fields, from philosophy, to mathematics, to computer science, to biology to economics. Each of those fields has its own language, theories, heroes, and methods, and each warrants a whole tome of its own.
My goal in this book is to offer insight into the most important (in my opinion) parts from every field and approach. My ambition is for the reader to understand how uncertainty has shaped our lives, and to appreciate the tools and methods we might use against it. If you feel even just a little wiser and more enlightened after reading this book, I know that I accomplished my mission.
