With technological advances and information updates, our social systems have become increasingly complex. When facing a complex situation, we can hardly give an accurate prediction about what’s going to happen, and it’s also extremely difficult to make the right judgments. But we must do so because a seemingly trivial mistake might eventually snowball into a catastrophe. Fortunately, we still have the chance to stop this from happening. This book, Meltdown, gives a detailed account of why our systems fail and how we can catch up with technology and prevent meltdowns.
