The book comprises four parts. The first two offer a chronicle of how I simultaneously learned how the game works and how to play it. They serve as an on- ramp to the frontier of innovation, where progress is achieved through Darwinian processes of trial and error, subject to intense competitive pressure under conditions of uncertainty, even ignorance, about the consequences of action and the returns on investment"--
