Summary:Human knowledge and capacity to create are constantly evolving and growing, forcing humanity's understanding of the world and its place within the world to change at the same pace. Auerswald (George Mason) inspires readers to consider the role that code-processes, technology, and production-has played in the formation and identity of modern society. Auerswald, an expert in the field of innovation, writes in an easy to read style, using examples and comparisons to explain and define in order to minimize field-specific jargon.
