Hasn't gotten technical so far but it promises to be a fascinating read.
The author has explained the foundational concepts of probability remarkably well, not with equations and theorems, but with the story of how they were discovered and first used - stories of the discovery of arithmetic and algebra, the first stock markets, gambling, wagers, insurance, information, and war.
