Určitě se vám to už někdy stalo! Nemáte ani ponětí, co se svým životem dál, a najednou potkáte přítele, kterého jste roky neviděli, a jeho mimochodem pronesená poznámka vám ukáže řešení. Nebo stojíte před problémem a nevíte z které strany začít a sotva otevřete noviny, uvidíte článek, který se zabývá právě vaším problémem. Nebo si zapomenete označit jízdenku a potkáte revizora, to je ten horší případ. Autoři této knihy se pokusili náhodu pochopit a analyzovat. Proto posbírali příběhy šťastné, veselé, smutné, drsné i romantické. Všechny však mají jedno společné – to, co se stalo, vypadá jako naprosto neuvěřitelná shoda okolností. Nemohli vynechat ani všeobecně známé příklady, jakými byla podivná předpověď zkázy lodě Titanic, či podobnosti v životech Lincolna a Kennedyho.
