Nassim Nicholas Taleb — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 2001 and 2012. They average 7.8 — level with the catalogue as a whole. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note Lebanese American essayist, statistician and former options trader whose five-book Incerto is about how to live with uncertainty, luck and rare, high-impact events. Fooled by Randomness argues that we mistake luck for skill, especially in markets; Antifragile, the best rated here, describes things that gain from shocks and disorder rather than merely surviving them; The Bed of Procrustes collects his aphorisms. The Black Swan and Skin in the Game complete the series. Combative, scornful of experts and often provocative. Each book can be read alone.
