How do you predict something that has never happened before?There's a useful calculation being employed by Wall Street, Silicon Valley and maths professors all over the world, and it predicts that the human species will become extinct in 760 years. With brief detours into archaeology, philology, and overdue library books, William Poundstone explains how we can use it to predict pretty much anything.
