a good book explaining how big things can sneak up to us - obvious after the fact, but not before or during the onset.
a recommended read.

It is a good read. I got it from the library.

Is that book written from a mathematical perspective of something like that?
This is the second time I found people commenting about it, and think it would be interesting, but I don't have much spare time and 450 pages will need some motivation

IMO, it isn't a book you sit down with and read threw in 1-2 days. I found it a book I kept with me and read between MrsMac going into a store (s) while I waited in the truck.

the writer was a wall street quant. heavy into math. The book speaks to some concepts at a high school level - no tensor calculus needed :P

check the wiki and see what you think. I like the fact it gives me a way to recognize the normalcy bias in my self - albeit after the fact. I gotta start somewhere.
