The UnRules: Man, Machines and the Quest to Master Markets

Part memoir and part guide to action, The UnRules draws on Igor’s journey from the Soviet Union to the forefront of quantitative finance. The book examines how people can navigate complexity without becoming trapped by certainty and exploring the connections among data, machines, markets, and human behavior. Its central idea—that no rule applies in every situation—reveals how progress depends on balancing discipline with creativity, focus with flexibility, and human judgment with computational power.
