Book Review: Nanotechnology for a Sustainable World: Global Artificial Photosynthesis as Nanotechnology’s Moral Culmination, by Thomas Faunce

Author Taleb’s narrative is at times hard to follow, however, and readers should be prepared for instances of astonishing invective and even denigration. He uses these to dispatch conventional views of both economic theory and its application to the innovative mechanics of successful technical research. His descriptions of convexity and concavity in relation to Black Swan events, for example, are not easy to follow and demand considerable concentration. Taleb closes his book with an amusing Epilogue, a practical Glossary, and most helpfully, Appendices that depict graphically some of the author’s key arguments. All in all, he has given the world a remarkable thesis (his work is currently available worldwide in about thirty-five languages), and his surprising conclusion—that things actually gain from being disordered—deserves to be considered carefully by anyone involved with planning for the future.
