Other Stuff Hopefully of Interest
The Predictioneer’s Game is officially published tomorrow. I hope you will take a moment to buy a copy at your local bookstore or at one of the links provided at this website. You can listen to me discuss the book tonight on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central and on October 19th on a CNBC special about the future of work. On October 1st, those of you in New York might stop by at the Carnegie Council where I will discuss The Predictioneer’s Game and then hold a book signing. I will have a similar program in San Francisco on October 26th at the World Affairs Council.
For those of you in the UK, I will be on BBC radio on the morning of October 19th discussing Pedictioneer — the British title. Later that week I will give a talk at the London School of Economics. It is free and open to the public so I hope you will come to it. Check out the time and place at the LSE website. On October 20th I will give a talk at 10 Downing Street which will be available later as a podcast. And then it wil be on to Dubin for a TED-like presentation on the book.
Later today I will post an apprentice version of the model online, a version that you can download and use on your own computer. A programmer and I are still working on a web-based version and will post that as soon as we overcome some problems we have encountered. Who knows, maybe that version will be up and running today and we will provide that instead of the down-loadable version. We are doing our best!
I am looking forward to your feedback on the book after you have had a chance to read it and also on how the software is working for you. Happy predictioneering!

Bruce,
Just watched you with Jon Stewart and really liked the interview. You seemed quite comfortable and presented your topic very well. I will be picking up a copy of the book within the next of days.
Best of luck with the sales.

Do you predict your computer model will run on a Mac? Whom do you predict will be most interested, Mac users or PC users?

Hi,
Thanks for the interest. The model should run on any platform. If there is a problem please let me know.

Does your model do stock market predictions?
Can you post something in that regard?
Thanks

Saw you on John Stewart. I’m so glad I did! Bought the kindle version immediately and am devouring the book. Love it!
I’m a computer scientist and would love to know more about your algorithms. Is there any further reading you could recommend that doesn’t give away too many of your secrets? Maybe your software will be enough for me when it arrives for the Mac/web.
I’m currently starting to work on a basic negotiation software platform using game theory. Applied game theory is so interesting to me.
