“This excellent guide to the science of uncertainty is very welcome... Adam Kucharski's new book Proof is a life raft in a sea of fake news and misinformation.”

“Adam Kucharski is that rarest of beasts: a true mathematical expert who can also write beautiful accessible, human prose. Proof is a profound and utterly absorbing exploration of the limits and power of proof and truth, both in mathematics and in life itself... Kucharski elegantly explores how proof is not just a mathematical concept but a vital tool in decision-making, justice, and survival - it's brilliant.”

“A vivid, intelligent and wide-ranging book about how we know what we know. Adam Kucharski is a brilliant and entertaining guide.”

“Adam Kucharski has a knack of making complex problems sound simple - and exciting. A book that made me smile and feel clever.”

“In an increasingly complex world, where we're beset by information, misinformation, and endlessly required to make decisions about it all, Kucharski shines a brilliant and clarifying light through the muddle. Proof is a puzzle-solver's delight; the essential guide we need to make sense of what and who to trust, and the risks therein.”

“Fascinating and beautifully-written.”
