The Instant New York Times Bestseller | With a New Preface from Nate Silver for 2025
New York Times Book Review Paperback Row selection
“Engaging and entertaining . . . a glimpse of the economy of the future.”—Tim Wu, New York Times Book Review
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Signal and the Noise, the definitive guide to our era of risk—and the players raising the stakes
In a world wired for chaos, these players are rewriting the rules. High-stakes, high-IQ, and often high on their own mythologies, they are driving the next era of finance, tech, and politics. But what happens when their bets go too far?
Nate Silver’s On The Edge reveals the hidden world of the River. It is the domain of gamblers and like-minded folks who move markets and change the fabric of society: poker legends, hedge fund titans, crypto speculators, and even those willing to bet the world’s future on AI. They are obsessives with a deep hunger for volatility and an unrelenting desire to exploit every edge over the rest of us. Silver embeds with them, competing in the World Series of Poker, visiting Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX compound, and attending wild Miami yacht parties at the height of the crypto bubble.
On the Edge is a front-row seat to a new world order built on risk, math, and ambition—a gripping ride through the minds shaping your future, whether you like it or not.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of charts and a glossary of terms from the book.

“Our recent politics have been seen as a conflict between coastal elites and Middle Americans. It is a divide, roughly, between the rich and the not-so-rich, the influential and the ignored. Mr. Silver focuses on a different fault line, the one between the risk-takers and the risk-averse . . . savvy observations about the business and culture of gambling.”—Eric Felten, Wall Street Journal
“Engaging and entertaining . . . Silver describes how the decision-making methods of the professional gambler have spread to encompass a wide swath of human activities, from cryptocurrency investment to the pursuit of a more ethical life. He offers readers an interview-driven tour of the parts of America where the outlooks and incomes depend on sophisticated forms of risk-taking. The result is a glimpse of the economy of the future.”—Tim Wu, New York Times Book Review
“Engrossing . . . a meditation on risk, a study of those most comfortable taking it and an invitation for the rest of us to think about what it means that so much more of our lives now seems to hang on it.”—David Wallace-Wells, New York Times
