## Discover How Small Events Shape Our World **What can chaos theory teach us about everyday life?** In the same eye-opening spirit as Malcolm Gladwell’s *The Tipping Point* and Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s *The Black Swan*, social scientist and *Atlantic* writer **Brian Klaas** reveals why tiny, random events can send our lives—and history itself—down dramatically different paths. --- ### Imagine Rewinding Your Life - **Press rewind.** Start your life over from day one. - **Hit play again.** Would everything unfold the same way? - **Small detours matter.** A mis-dialed phone call or a missed highway exit could ripple out to reshape not only your future but the broader course of events. --- ### Inside *Fluke* In *Fluke*, Brian Klaas: 1. **Explores random chance** and the chaos it injects into human affairs. 2. **Challenges the “storybook” view** that life follows neat, predictable plots. 3. **Shows how hidden forks in the road** create alternate realities we never see—yet they determine everything that actually happens. --- ### Why This Matters Understanding the power of randomness: - **Reframes how we think about success and failure.** - **Builds humility** about our ability to predict outcomes. - **Encourages resilience** when life’s surprises strike.
