  • The Irrational Decision

    How We Gave Computers the Power to Choose for Us

    How the computer revolution shaped our conception of rationality—and why human problems require solutions rooted in human intuition, morality, and judgmentIn the 1940s, mathematicians set out to design computers that could act as ideal rational agents in the face of uncertainty. The Irrational Decision tells the story of how they settled on a peculiar mathematical definition of rationality in ... Read more
