This book aims to thoroughly examine noise’s conceptual potencies and explore and amplify its epistemic consequences. The author explores the prospect of different “contextures” of a present made volatile by noise. In a moment when our species exhibits the capacity of global-scale coordination and the design of robust, adaptable social systems, we need to review the way in which we can harness uncertainty, randomness, and noise. This philosophical work is informed by many different fields of contemporary science in order to assess and highlight the problems of the metascientific and ideological foundations of diverse projects of prediction and control of uncertainty. This conveys an analysis of how contemporary prediction technologies are dramatically transforming our relationship with the future and with uncertainty in a great number of our social structures.
