The Signal and The Noise: The Art and Science of Prediction is a book that explores the method of predicting events, which ones are correct predictions, which are not and how people land on the right predictions. The book is written especially for those who desire to understand how foresight is prevalent in almost every sphere of human lives.

The Signal and The Noise: The Art and Science of Prediction breaks down the various methods and means of prediction into a comprehensive form of patterns, portraying them in a rational and scientific manner. Moreover, the book also explores how we are able to make simple predictions in our everyday lives, for instance, deciding which routes avoid due to traffic when travelling to work.

The book also discusses the idea that while we are fairly successful in making small predictions that affect our daily routine, we still somehow fail to foresee the big picture. The author cites the examples of the events of 9/11 and the Fukushima disaster to point out the failure in our abilities to foresee such huge events. The book was published by Penguin UK in 2012 and is available in paperback.
