* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

*By reading this summary, you will learn how statistics have become indispensable for predicting the future.

*You will also learn : that probability was first developed to win at games of chance; how predicting the future became scientifically possible; that artificial intelligence will take probability to a new level; why you should beware of polls and scientific studies.

*Watching your weather application in the morning before going to work may seem trivial to you. Yet this simple gesture displays the result of an infinite number of mathematical calculations designed to predict the weather in your city. Just like weather predictions, the prediction of future events has become an essential part of human activities. From now on, humanity no longer depends on crystal balls or ossicles to know what's ahead. Rather, it relies on mathematics and statistics, which are increasingly infiltrating your daily life. Are you ready to become aware of the impact of these new disciplines in your life?
