Ideas That Changed

The book systematically unfolds its argument by first introducing core concepts of innovation and societal adoption, then delving into scientific and socio-political transformations.

It connects historical lessons to contemporary concerns, such as the ethics of artificial intelligence, offering a framework for understanding current global challenges and fostering future breakthroughs.
