RE: How to Predict the Future. Like...Seriously!

Thanks so much for the kind feedback.

I love books and could recommend dozens, but I'll limit my recommendations to five of the ones that have influenced my thinking most:

The Singularity is Near
The Black Swan
Sex at Dawn
Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters
The Zero Marginal Cost Society

The first two and the last one are pretty dense reading, requiring focus to follow. The middle two are easy reads.

Hope you enjoy them, and thanks again!

Added them all to my list. I've had Black Swan on my mind for a while, as I like Nassim a lot. I think I haven't gotten it yet because of its dense nature, as you mentioned. But, hey, I figure if I can get through Mises and Rothbard, I can get through some other dense stuff as well. This is a nice little push that I needed to get into some new and different books. Thank you!

Hope you enjoy. Taleb's book Antifragile is one for the ages also.
