Beskrivelse

Fluke reveals how chance and randomness shape our lives and the world around us in ways we rarely recognize. Brian Klaas challenges the neat stories we tell ourselves, showing that small, random events can have huge consequences.

A fresh look at how randomness and chance influence everything we do and the course of history.

In Fluke, social scientist Brian Klaas dives deep into the unpredictable nature of randomness, dismantling the tidy narratives we often believe. He uncovers a far more chaotic and fascinating reality where tiny, incidental changes could have drastically altered our lives and societies.

The book explores how seemingly minor decisions-like hitting the snooze button or a couple’s holiday-can ripple out to change history itself. Klaas examines the smallest accidents that have shifted the course of events, revealing the surprising power of chance in shaping the world.
