Description
The Innovation Delusion: How Our Obsession with the New Has Disrupted the Work That Matters Most Our obsession with innovation has become a dominant force in business, but at what cost? Historians of technology Lee Vinsel and Andrew L. Russell argue that our relentless pursuit of change has led to unintended consequences, including economic instability, social inequality, and decreased job security. The authors draw on years of original research and reporting to expose the flaws in the ideology of innovation for its own sake. They show how corporations have prioritized short-term gains over long-term sustainability, while computer science programs have focused on skills that are no longer relevant. The result is a world where local governments struggle to maintain infrastructure, and communities are left with deferred repairs. This thought-provoking book offers a timely critique of our relationship with innovation and challenges us to rethink our priorities.
