The Stochastic Man
Silverberg Robert
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.
