  abstract: ""Bravo! In a work that's fresh and inviting, Mirchandani shares with us his case studies in innovation and creativity. It's no small irony that the ÌT' revolution has created a technology industry that all too easily falls back on bromides and received wisdom. Mirchandani inspires us to return to IT's roots, with the transformative power that comes from putting technology innovation in service to business and society."--Benjamin Fried, CIO, Google, Inc."

Thanks to technology, we can all be Polymaths if we open our minds to the possibilities. Consider this book your guide---I think da Vinci would be proud."---Linda Avey, cofounder, 23andMe" ""Mirchandani is one of the few technology analysts to realize that technology doesn't come in neat bundles anymore, if it ever did.
