Combining the social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From with the arguments of Everything Bad Is Good for You, Steven Johnson maps how a connected world will be both different and better.
Johnson proposes that a new model of political change is emerging, transforming local government, classrooms, and healthcare. He explores this through various fascinating examples, from the 'Miracle on the Hudson' to the French railway system, and from battling malnutrition in Vietnam to mysterious smells in Manhattan. Johnson showcases a vision that breaks with traditional liberal or conservative categories, arguing that progress remains possible even amid political gridlock.
