    Synopsis

    "Required reading for whoever takes over the Oval Office in January."
    -Therest Ploletti, MarketWatch

    “Judy Estrin has zeroed in on the lack of long-term thinking in business and culture that is one of the gravest problems we face today. Her urgent call to action is a must-read for anyone interested in fostering and accelerating innovation in their business or organization.”
    -Bob Iger, CEO, The Walt Disney Company

    "Deeply thought-provoking. An extraordinary tapestry of commentary drawn from scores of interviews and woven into a coherent fabric about innovation and why it must be a part of America's future."
    -Vint Cerf, vice president and chief Internet evangelist, Google

    "Concerned about the future of America's role in the global economy? Then, whether you're a business leader, educator or policy maker, you should read this book. America achieved greatness through its ability to engineer, explore and innovate. Estrin provides a fresh perspective on the importance of innovation to our future, and shines a bright light on the problems we face in rebuilding its crumbling cultural and educational foundations."
    Sally K. Ride, Ph.D., first American woman astronaut

    "Judy Estrin is one of Silicon Valley's greatest entrepreneurs and technologists. If you care about the state of entrepreneurship and management in the 21st century, her book is a must-read."
    -Roger McNamee, managing director, Elevation Partners
