Our read: The Innovation Delusion: How Our Obsession with the New Has Disrupted the Work That Matters Most by Andrew L. Russell and Lee Vinsel
Book Synopsis: It’s hard to avoid innovation these days. Nearly every product
gets marketed as being disruptive, whether it’s genuinely a new invention or just
a new toothbrush. But in this manifesto on the state of American work,
historians of technology Lee Vinsel and Andrew L. Russell argue that our way of
thinking about and pursuing innovation has made us poorer, less safe, and—
ironically—less innovative.
