In 2016 I read The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver.
Interesting looking into a side of statistics that I haven't had much exposure to - that future-facing branch. I look forward to exploring this topic more in-depth in some of the cited sources.
Final word on the matter: while Mr. Silver's enthusiasm comes through quite clearly in several passages of the book, he might to better to curb his projected sense superiority about how much more effective he believes his approach to be, whether it be an artifact of his subconscious or not.
