The content of this book is genuine research: a search for the exit, the way out of commonplace, from the normal way of seeing things, the exit from preconceptions, from reasoning models imposed by culture or media. A free flow of thoughts that follow the lines of speculation typical of the best science fiction, seasoned with a taste for the bizarre and curious. Fifty excursions out of the "comfort zone" of reassuring preconceptions of common knowledge. Thus, fifty small heresies, fifty manifestations of dissent towards what seems normal to everyone. It's a book that at times may disturb and scandalize you, and probably will, but the more it does, the more grateful you'll be, if you can take the provocations as a useful stimulus to see things in the world from different perspectives. The reader can choose whether to evaluate it as a work of futurology or science fiction, philosophy or heresy. Like authentic interdisciplinary works, Stochastic Thinking eludes any attempt at classification.
