I'd like to point out that Norbert Wiener was the first to discover the concept of antifragility (under a different term though). It's also worth checking out more of his works as he initiated the field of cybernetics.

Where did he described this? (Honest question)

  To be correct, he maybe didn't coin the term. At least I didn't find it on quick search in his book Cybernetics. Seems like the term ultrastable actually comes from Ashby [1].

    Yeah, I'm more curious about his point of view than terminology. Thanks

  I believe Nassim Taleb coined the term.
