Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb is the third book in his Incerto series, after Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan. Where those books were about the limits of prediction, Antifragile is about systems that gain from disorder, that get stronger under stress rather than breaking.

Taleb is a polarising writer, but the book is full of original thinking that has influenced many fields.
