As a technology pioneer at MIT and as the leader of three successful start-ups, Kevin Ashton experienced firsthand the all-consuming challenge of creating something new. Now, in a tour-de-force narrative twenty years in the making, Ashton leads us on a journey through humanity’s greatest creations to uncover the surprising truth behind who creates and how they do it. From the crystallographer’s laboratory where the secrets of DNA were first revealed by a long forgotten woman, to the electromagnetic chamber where the stealth bomber was born on a twenty-five-cent bet, to the Ohio bicycle shop where the Wright brothers set out to “fly a horse,” Ashton showcases the seemingly unremarkable individuals, gradual steps, multiple failures, and countless ordinary and usually uncredited acts that lead to our most astounding breakthroughs.
Creators, he shows, apply in particular ways the everyday, ordinary thinking of which we are all capable, taking thousands of small steps and working in an endless loop of problem and solution. He examines why innovators meet resistance and how they overcome it, why most organizations stifle creative people, and how the most creative organizations work. Drawing on examples from art, science, business, and invention, from Mozart to the Muppets, Archimedes to Apple, Kandinsky to a can of Coke, How to Fly a Horse is a passionate and immensely rewarding exploration of how “new” comes to be.
Kevin Ashton led pioneering work on RFID (radio frequency identification) networks, for which he coined the term "the Internet of Things," and co-founded the Auto-ID Center at MIT. His writing about innovation and technology has appeared in Quartz, Medium, The Atlantic, and the New York Times.

评分罗胖开始推广这本书了,看看后续如何,说实话,该书在goodread上的分数并没像罗胖所言的那样具有爆炸性,还是等时间来验证之后的销量与影响吧。不过真的不知道,为什么要把原作这样一个标题翻译的那么四平八稳
评分罗胖的解读 今天给大家推荐的这本书叫《创造》。 一般人都认为,创造是神奇的事—— 只有天才有可能创造。 创造行为有明确目的。 而这本书的作者,“物联网之父”凯文·阿什顿却说,那都是鬼扯。 从0到1,那是造物主创世纪的做法,绝大多数时候: 创造随时随地可以发生...
评分习惯性下拉看内容目录,看到罗振宇写的序…不知道的还以为是作者邀请他作序,呵呵 不过,出版人嘛,就算在人家地盘上也要留下自己的气味 序题还可以,“只给勤奋者的创新书”……嗯,也很符合他一直的风格 手贱点了作者名字看更多书,发现该作者还有另一本书《创造:只给勤奋者...
