Beschreibung

<p><b>'This is the book we need right now' CAROLINE CRIADO PEREZ<br><br>'Lucid, funny and fascinating' ADAM BUXTON<br><br>The tech disruptor. The tortured poet. The rebellious scientist. The monstrous artist.</b><br><br>You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate.<br><br>Taking us from the Renaissance Florence of Leonardo da Vinci to the Floridian rocket launches of Elon Musk's SpaceX, Helen Lewis unravels a word that we all use - without really questioning what it means - and asks if the modern idea of genius is distorting our view of the world.<br><br><b>'Brilliant, timely and compulsively readable' OLIVER BURKEMAN</b><br><br><b>'A provocative, witty book' <i>TLS</i></b></p>
