Stephen Johnson has written some amazing books, most particularly his informal "trilogy" including The Ghost Map, The Invention of Air, and most recently, Where Good Ideas Come From. Those three in particular are wonderful in their rich, detailed discussion of how knowledge and ideas advance, how they spring from complex causes in a particular time and place, and how they in turn change the very nature of not just our science and technology but our cultures and views of the world, and of ourselves.

A mix of interviews and guest essays on how to be innovative. Several pieces were dedicated to IDEO, whose books I find more helpful.

44th book read in 2014. Number 356 out of 387 on my all time book list.
