FEATURED PRODUCT Everyday Chaos David Weinberger Artificial intelligence, big data, modern science, and the internet are all revealing a fundamental truth: The world is vastly more complex and unpredictable than we’ve allowed ourselves to see. Now that technology is enabling us to take advantage of all the chaos it’s revealing, our understanding of how things happen is changing — and with it our deepest strategies for predicting, preparing for, and managing our world. Through stories from history, business, and technology, philosopher and technologist David Weinberger finds the unifying truths lying below the surface of the tools we take for granted — and a future in which our best strategy often requires holding back from anticipating and instead creating as many possibilities as we can.
