Who are the greatest innovators in the world? You're probably thinking Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford - the usual suspects.
This book isn't about them. It's about people who are just as innovative, entrepreneurial, and visionary as the Jobses, Edisons, and Fords of the world, except they're not in Silicon Valley. They're in the street markets of Sao Paulo and Guangzhou, and the rubbish dumps of Lagos. They are pirates, slum dwellers, computer hackers, dissidents, and inner city gang members.

Inconsistent moral messages
Revisado: 08-30-15
This book is well researched and written, however is inconsistent with the moral messages and lauded achievements. At one point, Miss Phillips declares patents to hinder progress, but later praises Goddard for his achievements and number of patents in rocketry. She loves the digitizing of music, but hates that music isn't 100% free. I feel like this book was a patchwork of multiple short essays that didn't line up in the final frame.

No war can last forever. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand.

Good story. Bad closure.
Revisado: 06-28-15
Good story. Bad closure. And again, Luke barely existed in any of the battles. What's the point of a Jedi Grand Master if he is merely a presence at meetings?

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception.

Good perspectives
Revisado: 06-19-15
This book was quite the eye opener. I was surprised at the techniques many law enforcement agencies used for interrogation as well as how easy it is to become dissonant. The waffling between male and female readers was a little distracting, but that is my only complaint.
