Randomness

It is an indubitable fact that every high school graduate ponders at one time or another who his or her college roommate will be. This unavoidable curiosity has been, for a long time, always unanswered until the roommates actually meet for the first time. Imagine, however, that a highschool graduate could not only find out who his or her roommate will be, but also pick the actual roommate. In Dalton Conley’s, “When Roommates Were Random”, Conley explains how he saw his capricious roommate selection, when he went to college, as a positive thing.

Fooled by Randomness Critical Review This book was hard for me to grasp at first, but it became very interesting after a few chapters.
