Been a while since I wrote a book review. Truth be told nothing I read perked my interest in the last two months but Taleb's Antifragile changed that. Antifragile is his latest tour de force and it is his finest work yet and the logical culmination of what I would like to call the Randomness trilogy. In fooled by randomness Taleb talked about assigning causes where none exist and how to take advantage in day to day life.
