In Fluke, myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas deep-dives into the phenomenon of randomness, dismantling our neat and tidy storybook version of events to reveal a reality far wilder and more fascinating than we have dared to consider. The bewildering truth is that but for a few incidental changes our lives - and our societies - would be radically different. offering an entirely new perspective, Fluke explores how our world can be profoundly altered by strange interactions and random events. How much difference does our decision to hit the snooze button make? Did one couple's vacation really change the course of history? And has the evolution of humans been inevitable, or are we simply the product of a series of accidents/ Drawing on social science, chaos theory, history, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, the mind-bending lessons of Fluke challenge our beliefs about the very workings of the world. In truth, every detail matters because of the web of connectivity that envelops us. So what if, by exploding our illusion of control, we can make better decisions, be happier, and lead more fulfilling lives?
