I'm a technology guy and a data guy so I'm very interested in all things related to those two. I've also written about the challenges of the Information Revolution we are going through. Finally, we are also aware of the "Black Swan" concept where we can't see a house of cards until it is too late and we plan for stability and certainty where a rare event can bring it all crashing to the ground.
Combine these with the American Political system and what do you get? The 21st Century version has been very, very messy.

Happy Reading,
