There is a lot to like in this book, it is thoroughly researched and makes it’s case well. Overall it is a useful addition to the growing wealth of literature looking at innovation. Reading it, we certainly came away better informed about the growth patterns and projections of the major global economies, in particular the US, India and China. Reading it though, it did feel like it spent a long time, probably too long to get past outlining what the data said, and moving onto an interpretation, analysis and some insights about what this all might mean. As mentioned, you are definitely better informed after the first 100+ pages, but after a certain point the number of charts and statistics began to get in the way of the analysis. You found yourself reading it, and saying, yes, but what does it all mean?
