- melling 8y agoI’m glad I read that book but I was slightly disappointed. Signal and Noise by Nate Silver was more educational and enjoyable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Signal_and_the_Noise https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Signal_and_the_Noise Fooled by Randomness was also good. Better than Black Swan IMO. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fooled_by_Randomness https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fooled_by_Randomness Just started Einstein’s Shadow by Seth Fletcher. Am enjoying it. https://www.amazon.com/Einsteins-Shadow-Black-Astronomers-Unseeable/dp/0062312022 https://www.amazon.com/Einsteins-Shadow-Black-Astronomers-Un... —— Adding other books that I’ve read in the past that I see mentioned and also loved: Masters of Doom Longitude I liked Logitude so much I called myself h4labs when I released apps in the App Store, after Harrison’s H4 watch. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h4labs-word-search/id1311744075?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h4labs-word-search/id1311744...
