The Index Of Self Destructive Acts by Christopher R. Beha
Set against the backdrop of post-2008 financial crisis New York, this novel intricately weaves the lives of a diverse cast of characters, each grappling with personal and societal upheavals. At its core is Sam Waxworth, a data journalist whose predictive algorithms have made him a rising star, but whose personal life is in disarray. As he becomes entangled with the Doyle family, including a disgraced political columnist and his mathematician wife, the narrative explores themes of chance, fate, and the human propensity for self-sabotage. Through a blend of wit and insight, the story delves into the complexities of modern life, questioning the reliability of data in predicting human behavior and the consequences of our self-destructive tendencies.
