Our world is complex and fast-moving, with a widening chasm between the need
for new solutions and humanity’s ability to generate them. In The Ingenuity Gap
Thomas Homer-Dixon, reflecting on the prospect of future disasters, wisely
suggests reducing this gap by injecting a substantial dose of humility and
prudence into our collective conscience. Published by Jonathan Cape, £20,
ISBN 0224050532.
