The challenge of the future -- Party like it's 1999 -- All happy companies are different -- The ideology of competition -- Last mover advantage -- You are not a lottery ticket -- Follow the money -- Secrets -- Foundations -- The mechanics of mafia -- If you build it, will they come? -- Man and machine -- Seeing green -- The founder's paradox -- Conclusion: stagnation or singularity.

"The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new. Every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1. The act of creation is singular, and the result is something fresh and strange. True innovators have nothing to copy. The most valuable companies of the future will create entirely new industries and products. They will escape competition, because their businesses will be unique."--Provided by publisher.

Masters, Blake.
