Chance shapes our lives far more than we usually realise. Yet chance is only part of the story. Every day, our choices interact with randomness, shaping the unique paths that become our lives.

In What Are the Odds? Australian science writer Surendra Verma explores the surprising science and philosophy of probability, coincidence, luck and uncertainty. Drawing on mathematics, psychology, evolutionary biology, history and everyday experience, he explains why humans are poor judges of chance, why we see patterns where none exist and how understanding randomness can lead to wiser decisions and greater resilience.

Written with clarity, humour and insight, this book invites you to rethink the role of luck and choice in your life. It is a fascinating journey into one of life's deepest questions: how much of our destiny is down to chance, and how much to us?

Surendra Verma has been a science writer and author based in Melbourne, Australia, since 1970. He has published numerous popular science books in Australia, the UK, the US and India, and they have been translated into 14 languages other than English.
