In The Nature of Technology, l'economista rivoluzionario W. Brian Arthur esplora lo straordinario modo in cui la tecnologia che ci circonda e ci consente di vivere le nostre vite moderne è stata effettivamente sviluppata. Invece di provenire da una serie di invenzioni una tantum, quasi tutta la tecnologia che utilizziamo oggi deriva da sviluppi precedenti: queste tecnologie non vengono create, ma si stanno evolvendo. Con esempi affascinanti, dalle stampanti laser alle centrali elettriche, Arthur rivela come le nostre capacità di problem-solving e la nostra visione creativa possano evolversi insieme a queste tecnologie e come questa comprensione possa persino migliorare la nostra comprensione del mondo più ampio.
