What is The Stochastic Man about?
Lew Nichols can predict the future. Not see the future, just make predictions based on research and statistics. Nichols is damn good at it, though, and his accuracy makes him a valuable addition to Paul Quinn s political campaign for New York City Mayor and possibly the White House. But, when Nichols meets eccentric millionaire Martin Carvajal, predictions suddenly seem petty and flippant. You see, Carvajal can actually see the future not trends, not options a signal line of events stretching out ahead. It s a gift Nichols can learn from this mentor, but at what price? Will knowing the future make the present meaningless? Isaac Asimov said of author Robert Silverberg, Where Silverberg goes today, the rest of science fiction will go tomorrow.
