Steven Johnson studies the origin of great ideas and why certain environments make them thrive. Drawing on everyday inventions such as the printing press, the pencil, the toilet and the battery, and on cases like Darwin, Freud, Google or Apple, he distinguishes seven recurring patterns in innovation and explains how the advances that transform society and culture emerge.
With the subtitle The Natural History of Innovation, this edition is a 2011 reprint; the work was originally published in 2010 as The Seven Patterns of Innovation.
For readers interested in creativity, innovation, history of science and the social impact of technology.
