he Random Numbers Unveiled: Unlocking the Secrets of Numbers That You Can't Predict but Can Rely On by George Szpiro, 2026

The book discusses random numbers under five headings: What are they? What are they good for? How do we produce them? Why do we need them? How do we fake them? The book has been written with a sophisticated general reader in mind, but should be of much interest to students and academics of all levels.
