About the author
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese-American essayist, scholar, and former derivatives trader whose work focuses on probability, uncertainty, rare events, risk, and the consequences of acting from models that conceal their own fragility.
Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game form the Incerto. The books mix technical argument, history, polemic, aphorism, and practical heuristics rather than presenting one linear system.
Where to start
Start with The Black Swan for rare high-impact events, then read Antifragile for Taleb’s more constructive framework about systems that benefit from disorder.
