<p><b>A kaleidoscopic look at how eleven disruptive innovations--including the iPhone, the transistor, disposable diapers, and Julia Child's <i>The Art of French Cooking</i>--reshaped industries and societies, propelling humanity toward new frontiers.</b></p><p>From gunpowder to generative AI, the forces of disruption are repeatedly rewriting the rules of business, society, and human possibility. But what drives these revolutionary changes?</p><p>In <i>Epic Disruptions</i>, innovation expert Scott Anthony masterfully weaves together the fascinating stories behind history's most transformative disruptions--from ninth-century China to twenty-first-century Silicon Valley. Through eleven pivotal innovations, including the printing press, mass-produced automobiles, the McDonald's revolutionary food system, and the iPhone, Anthony reveals the hidden patterns behind world-changing breakthroughs.</p><p>But <i>Epic Disruptions</i> goes beyond just celebrating invention. Through vivid storytelling and sharp analysis, Anthony introduces the iconoclasts who dared to think differently--the Renaissance-era scientists, French cooking enthusiasts, and corporate visionaries who saw opportunities others missed. He reveals how disruption actually happens.</p><p>As artificial intelligence and other technologies promise to unleash another wave of transformation, <i>Epic Disruptions</i> arrives at the perfect moment--offering innovators and curious readers a page-turning exploration of how radical change reshapes industries, launches new powers, and, yes, occasionally changes everything.</p>
