One day after he kicks off the John Adams's fall program, Nate Silver will be at ABC Amsterdam for a book talk and signing. Please join us in the afternoon for an insightful chat! Nate Silver will give a short talk, answer questions and will sign his books afterwards.
Nate Silver is a statistician, writer, and the founder of FiveThirtyEight. He gained national fame after correctly predicting the results of the 2008 and 2012 U.S. presidential elections. Silver is also the author of the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, and his latest book, On the Edge, takes a bold look at how risk shapes our lives and the world around us. He writes the Substack Silver Bulletin.His newest book, On the Edge, explores the lives of risk takers — a community of like-minded people he calls “the River” — whose mastery of risk allows them to dominate and shape so much of modern life, defying convention, courting chaos, and shaping the world in unprecedented ways. “Riverians” are not just thrill-seekers, but people whose decisions reflect the volatility of our time: from professional poker players to Silicon Valley CEOs. From the casino floor in Las Vegas to the White House, their stories offer insight into our high-stakes world that feels increasingly uncertain.This event is hosted in cooperation with The John Adams Institute.
