From airplanes to television to penicillin, and from radios to frozen food to digital money, the fruits of innovation surround us.Innovation: A Very Short Introduction looks at what innovation is and why it affects us so profoundly. It examines how it occurs, who stimulates it, how it is pursued, and what its outcomes are, both positive and negative. Considering innovation today, and discussing future disruptive technologies such as AI, which have important implications for work and employment, Mark Dodgson and David Gann consider the extent to which our understanding of innovation has developed over the past century and how it might be used to interpret the global economy.

  You walk the same woodland path every week, past a ring of mushrooms on the lawn and a crust of lichen on an old gravestone, and you have never quite known what you were looking at.
  
  This is the fungal kingdom explained the way a good friend would explain it on that walk. Ten warm, short chapters take you under the forest floor into the mycelial network that trades food between trees, into spore clouds fired like tiny cannons, into lichens living two lives in one body, into ants that farm fungi and fungi that farm ants, and into mushrooms that glow quietly in the night woods. Each chapter closes with one thing you can look for outdoors tomorrow, whether you forage, garden, or simply like knowing what is under your boots.
  
  By the end, the ground reads differently and the smell of rain on soil makes sense. Press play before your next walk, and start noticing.
