Mood Matters
âI am an assiduous reader of John Castiâs books. He is a real scientific intellectual.â
 âNassim Nicholas Taleb, New York Times bestselling author of Fooled by Randomness
âCasti is at his best in presenting difficult philosophical ideas enthusiastically and lucidly, and in presenting everyday examples to illustrate them.â
âNew York Times Book Review
In his highly provocative and grippingly readable book, X-Events, author John Casti brilliantly argues that todayâs advanced, overly complex societies have grown highly vulnerable to extreme events that will ultimately topple civilization like a house of cards. Like Nassim Talebâs The Black Swan meets Jared Diamondâs Collapse, Castiâs book provides a much-needed wake-up callâsounding a fascinating and frightening warning about civilized societyâs inability to recover from a global catastropheâ demonstrating how humankind could be blasted back into the Stone Age by a meteor strike, nuclear apocalypse, worldwide contagion, or any number of unforeseeable X-Events.
