NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking exploration of probability and uncertainty that explains how to make better predictions in a world drowning in data, from the nation’s foremost political forecaster—updated with insights into the pandemic, journalism today, and polling

One of The Wall Street Journal’s Ten Best Works of Nonfiction of the Year

“Could turn out to be one of the more momentous books of the decade.”—The New York Times Book Review

Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future.

Drawing on his own groundbreaking work in sports and politics, Nate Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how to seek truth from data. In The Signal and the Noise, Silver visits innovative forecasters in a range of areas, from hurricanes to baseball to global pandemics, from the poker table to the stock market, from Capitol Hill to the NBA. He discovers that what the most accurate ones have in common is a superior command of probability—as well as a healthy dose of humility.

With everything from the global economy to the fight against disease hanging on the quality of our predictions, Nate Silver’s insights are an essential read.

Nothing much new in substance for someone who has some understanding of probabilistic thinking, but interesting profiles of persons involved.

Rather pedestrian

offers some interesting points though sometimes lacks some deeper understanding. Financial Markets are not really good understood by the author, and calling US Intelligence a "success story" seems a bit blind...
But overall a really interesting insight and well written! Definately worth listening!

interesting

Very interesting some of the time but often way too much detail given Eg long passages about baseball batting averages and the like. Thought provoking nonetheless.

Boring at times, interesting sections

Great book, sad it’s the only one, but it’s an easy listen, insightful but doesn’t go much into detail. I understand the important nuances of forecasting, and that’s what the book delivers, which is real helpful. A second, more current book on forecasting would be welcome.

Well narrated, easy to listen to
