"Het boek en de ideeën erin zijn best de moeite. Geen aanrader om in korte stukjes te lezen (zoals ik zelf maar al te vaak doe), maar beter in een paar keer uitlezen zodat je de verschillende grote lijnen en aangehaalde voorbeelden nog van elkaar kunt onderscheiden ;) "

" Good mix of historical example and practical applicable concept. He creates a framework for how to put yourself in a position to nurture innovation. Enjoyable. "

" Johnson is a great writer, explaining complicated concepts clearly, but this book is his best yet. It makes the case for communal discovery better than any previous attempt. "
— Kurt, 5/5/2011 -
" Honestly, I didnt quite follow the book. Out of my naivety I found it messy, boring and entangled. "

" More of a history than insight into the process of innovation. Summary: the adjacent possible (build on what is present), liquid networks (big cities, lots of people sharing ideas). Some history about Darwin and others. "
— Travis, 4/29/2011 -
" A lot of fascinating tidbits and interesting conjectures... not sure it added up to something conrete/coherent in the end. The writing was bad in places.<br/> "
— Andy, 4/20/2011 -
" I picked up this book after hearing Steven Johnson's interview on CBC's Spark. His arguments are compelling, and the book is chock full of invention origin stories - a very interesting read! "
— David, 4/10/2011 -
" A Gladwellian gloss on inspiration and intellectual property. "
