The Almost

The Almost: A Natural History of the Near Miss

The trip not taken, the crash avoided, the sentence unsaid: near misses are the largest category of events in any life and the least examined. The Almost reads the file — through aviation's confidential near-miss archives, evolution's bottlenecks, casino floors, a lost letter of the alphabet, and the person you nearly became — and turns the counterfactual from a ghost into an instrument. Every chapter ends with one wry image of the world where the almost connected.
