On the Edge: The Art of Risking Every...
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Signal and the Noise, the definitive guide to our era of risk—and the players raising the stakes
In the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates "The River," or those whose mastery of risk allows them to shape—and dominate—so much of modern life.
These professional risk takers—poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and blue-chip art collectors—can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the 21st century. By embedding within these worlds, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI.
The River has increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset—including the flaws in their thinking—is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today. There are certain commonalities in this otherwise diverse group: high tolerance for risk; appreciation of uncertainty; affinity for numbers; skill at de-coupling; self-reliance and a distrust of the conventional wisdom. For the River, complexity is baked in, and the work is how to navigate it, without going beyond the pale.
Taking us behind-the-scenes from casinos to venture capital firms to meetings of the effective altruism movement, On the Edge is a deeply-reported, all-access journey into a hidden world of powerbrokers and risk takers.

Black Ghosts by Ken N Kamoche
Dan Chiponda earns a scholarship to study in China and reluctantly leaves his native Zimbabwe for an uncertain future. Learning to take racial abuse in his stride, he dates a fellow student, Lai Ying, who is attracted to his easy-going manner. He remains haunted by the weight of his mother’s expectations, encapsulated by the image of the African fish eagle.
Things take a dramatic turn when Chinese students pour into the streets in an orgy of violence to drive Africans out of town. The situation in Nanjing only stabilises when attention turns to the mayhem that is unraveling in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. But that is only the beginning of Dan’s troubles with the ‘Campus Gestapo’, loan sharks in Hong Kong, and the shock of his family getting caught up in the violence by Mugabe’s war vets.
Black Ghosts was inspired by stories of Africans living in China in the 1980s and, in particular, by the little known incident in Nanjing, where African and Chinese students engaged each other in a violent battle just months before the Tiananmen Square massacre.
KAVIRONDO: The Story of Luos and Luhy...
Kenyatta Otieno has published his second book; *Kavirondo: The story of Luhyas and Luos*.
KAVIRONDO is a masterful 338-page narrative that intricately weaves the shared history, culture, and evolution of the Luo and Luhya communities. Through a blend of vivid storytelling and meticulous historical analysis, the book unravels the intertwined destinies of these two groups, examining how colonialism froze fluid ethnic identities into rigid constructs and how these communities, once connected, became labeled as separate entities.
Otieno dives deep into profound topics, such as the disproportionate toll of HIV on the Luo compared to the Luhya and the remarkable role of Luhya women in bolstering Luo populations during the malaria epidemics of the past.
The author explores the transformative influence of missionaries and the rise of independent churches in Western Kenya, painting a compelling portrait of how religion reshaped culture. Beyond history, Kavirondo celebrates the vibrant contributions of Luos and Luhyas to music, activism, sports, and trade unions, offering inspiring glimpses into the lives of icons like Okatch Biggy, Owiro "Karl Marx" Christopher and GPO Oulu.
This book is not merely a historical account; it is a celebration of resilience, coexistence, and shared heritage. It challenges the reader to reconsider the nature of ethnicity and learn from the unity of these communities, whose collective stories transcend borders. For anyone seeking to understand Kenya’s rich tapestry of culture and history, Kavirondo is an essential read.
