About the Original Book:

In Farsighted, Steven Johnson takes a detailed look at the history of decision making and decision theory. He provides easily actionable tips for improving decision-making in your own life. Johnson's book is rich with personal and historical examples to illustrate both effective decision processes and highlight some of the follies we commonly make. Not meant as a textbook on the current state of decision theory, Farsighted is instead an introspective look at how we've made it to this far - and what may lie ahead for humanity.
