Zero to One

Innovation is different! The book by PayPal founder and Facebook investor Peter Thiel shows the way out of the technological dead end.

We are living in a technological dead end, says Silicon Valley insider Peter Thiel. While globalization suggests technological progress, the supposed innovations are mainly copies of what already exists – and therefore far from being true innovations!

Peter Thiel demonstrates how true innovation occurs.

Peter Thiel, a well-known driver of innovation in the business community, is convinced: Globalization is not progress, competition is harmful, and only monopolies are sustainably successful. He shows:

• True innovation does not occur horizontally, but leaps from zero to one.
• The future is not conquered as the best among many, but as the only innovator.
• Founders must step out of the competition of the same old and conquer entirely new markets.

A vision for lateral thinkers.

How do you truly invent something new? Peter Thiel reveals this in his impressive guide to visionary lateral thinking. This book is:

• a call for a start-up of society as a whole
• a radical appeal against stagnation
• a plea for more courage to take risks
• a guide to an innovative future.
