This work tracks the history of innovation in the form of the "slow hunch". The author discusses how new ideas form from the scaffolding of older ideas, a phenomenon he describes as the "adjacent possible". Includes delightful figures of how innovative ideas are shifting from one man with a plan for a profit to many minds working for the public good.
