Even today, there remain uncharted territories and undiscovered inventions. In this book, Peter Thiel—a legendary entrepreneur and investor, co-founder of PayPal, and the driving force behind many other highly successful companies—reveals how to uncover opportunities to create these new things. Thiel argues that despite the constant refinement of sleek information technology devices, we are living in an era of technological stagnation. Progress can—and should—take place in any industry or business sector.
When you do what someone else already knows how to do, the world moves from point 1 to point *n*. But when you do something entirely new, you move from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system; the next Larry Page will not create a search engine. The heroes of tomorrow will not achieve success by winning ruthless market competition—in fact, they won’t compete at all, because they will create something unique.
This book offers an optimistic outlook on the possibilities for future progress, while presenting a fresh approach to innovation. It begins by teaching us how to ask the right questions—questions that lead us to value hidden in unexpected places.
The book was a *New York Times* and Amazon bestseller in the business category for 2014, a nominee for Amazon’s Best Business Book of 2014, and a nominee for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Business Book of 2014.
