0/5 ( ratings)

Luckily starring:

The Devil, the Dice Man, schooling fish, skeptical toddlers, two Buffons, and Murray The Camel Humphreys

Fortuitously featuring:

- Dario Gamboni on art and the accidental
- Tarot writings by Denis Johnson & Francine Prose
- David Serlins interview with Jackson Lears about the history of luck in America
- Dale Pendell on necromancy, bletonomancy, margaritomancy, and other obscure forms of divination
- Courtney Stephens speaking to Alison Gopnik about the origin of the idea of chance in children
- Cabinets quite certainly ill-advised Crazy Topsy-Turvy Two-Page Reader Giveaway Bonanza-Stravaganza!

Thankfully with:

- Margaret Wertheim in conversation with Ed Burton, creator of the virtual ecosystem of sodaconstructor
- Christopher Turner on the first daredevils of Niagara Falls
- Priscilla Becker on the color silver
- Samantha Hunt on Ada Lovelace, mother of the modern computer

All things being equal, including:

- King Camp Gillettes urban utopia, architectural pastries, philosophical instruments, gender politics and urination, and the myriad wonders of the American drink-through lid

And, if all goes well:

- Artist projects by Moyra Davey, Mariana Castillo Deball, Caitlin Masley, Kevin Okada, James Peel, and John Colle Rogers
