Further Reading:

I first came across the concept of apophenia reading Otto English’s excellent Fake Heroes in the chapter about how JFK wasn’t a very nice person (he also takes apart Mother Teresa, Che Guevara, Coco Chanel and Andy Warhol amongst others).

You can find Karl Popper’s essay Of Clouds and Clocks here: https://www.scribd.com/doc/83347181/Karl-Popper-Of-Clouds-and-Clocks

Mervyn King’s book Radical Uncertainty explores more into the nature of complex problems we face: https://www.littlebrown.co.uk/titles/mervyn-king/radical-uncertainty/9781408712580/

If you want one book to read about concepts of randomness, I’d thoroughly recommend A Drunkard’s Walk by Leonard Mlodinow https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/55764/the-drunkards-walk-by-leonard-mlodinow/9780141026473
