      Focusing on New York City's participatory budgeting (PB) process, the book offers an in-depth, community-centered analysis of its implementation and challenges. Through a multi-methodological study, it highlights issues such as lack of transparency, manipulation by city agencies, and unequal treatment of project proposals. Rather than presenting a unified PB initiative, it reveals numerous distinct projects shaped by individual council members. The findings suggest significant shortcomings and advocate for substantial reforms to enhance the effectiveness of participatory budgeting.

      Exploring the Victorian novel's approach to uncertainty, this work examines how authors like George Eliot and Thomas Hardy engaged with science, philosophy, and law to navigate partial knowledge and unpredictable outcomes. The book highlights their imaginative responses to hesitation and makeshift actions, ultimately framing realism as a genre focused on the probable. Daniel Williams emphasizes the significance of literary art in understanding the complexities of thought and action in a world increasingly dominated by predictive models and technologies.
