Looking for a good book on determinism.

Which philosophers cover it best? I think it's a pretty interesting concept and I also think we would be able to predict people's actions if we had enough data on them (genes, relationships, behaviors, psychology, etc).

Anyway, I wouldn't mind contemporary perspectives on the subject but I'd prefer something a little older/foundational.

why do you need a book? just think about it, it's pretty simple (as is everything true)

Check out Nassim Taleb and Stuart Kaufmann for the opposite views.
