Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm head of programming Connor Boyle on the podcast today, we welcome back Brian Klaas.
The political scientist who specializes in global politics at University College London, returns with a new book, Fluke.
As the title suggests, Brian has been looking at how some of the more chaotic and less predictable factors in life, events that are seemingly beyond anyones control, can play a big part in not only our everyday existence, but also in the course of history and major world events too.
Talking to Brian today is Poppy Damon.
Poppy is a journalist and podcast producer based in New York City.
Her most recent project, Agatha Christie and the Dandelion Poisoner, is available now on audible.
Let's hear more from Poppy.
In 1998, the movie Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, played out a woman's life in two different realities.
In one, she makes her train and thus home in time to discover her cheating boyfriend.
In the other, she misses the train and misses the chance at catching him in his infidelity.
