The Incerto

The Incerto is a series of books by Nassim Nicholas Taleb that explores uncertainty, randomness, and risk in our lives and systems. It examines how humans often misunderstand or underestimate randomness and the limits of knowledge, leading to fragile or unreliable outcomes. The series introduces ideas like "antifragility"—the ability to benefit from chaos—and emphasizes the importance of robustness in decision-making. By blending philosophy, economics, and science, Incerto helps readers better navigate complex, unpredictable environments in finance, nature, and everyday life.
