Nassim Nicholas Taleb is an uncompromizing no-nonsense thinker for our times. He has spent his life immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge, and he has led three high-profile careers around his ideas, as a man of letters, as a businessman-trader, and as a university professor and researcher. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's School of Engineering. He is the author of the 4-volume INCERTO ( Antifragile, The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness , and The Bed of Procrustes ). Taleb refuses all awards and honours as they debase knowledge by turning it into competitive sports.
