Foolproof | Greg Ip

Why safety can be dangerous and how danger makes us safe.

Experience shows us that we can never build a completely foolproof system because humans will always find a way to muck it up.

In engaging stories and practical takeaways Foolproof shows us how to stop trying to make the world unbreakable, and take advantage of risk.
