Behavioral economist Dan Ariely returns in this revised and expanded edition of the New York Times bestseller PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL (first edition published in February 2008) to offer a much-needed take on the irrational decisions that led to our current economic crisis.
On a future, frozen Earth, humanity has been packed onto self-sustaining trains, doomed to circumnavigate the globe until the end of the interminable ice age - or until the engines give out.
When a scrap of music piques their interest, the inhabitants of the Icebreaker take the ultimate risk and cross the frozen ocean, a vast expanse with no train tracks... and no way to return to them.
