Creators, he shows,apply everyday, ordinary thinking that we are all capable of in particular ways, takingthousands of small steps, working in an endless loop of problem and solution. Heexplores why innovators meet resistance and how they overcome it, why mostorganizations stifle creative people, and how the most creative organizations work. In apassionate and profound narrative that amazes and inspires, Ashton's book sheds newlight on how "new" comes to be.AUTHOR IS AN INNOVATOR: Kevin Ashton coined the term "the Internet of Things," a phrasethat is suddenly on everyone's lips and was just added to the Oxford Dictionaries.

Within hours, Lucybecomes a hero.

Although the young woman has dreams of becominga screenwriter, the only job Julie's able to find is one in the studio publicity office of thenotoriously demanding producer David O.

Julie's access to real-life magic comes whenCarole Lombard hires her as an assistant and invites her into the glamorous worldCarole shares with Clark Gable--who is about to move into movie history as the dashingRhett Butler.Carole Lombard, happily profane and uninhibited, makes no secret of her relationshipwith Gable, which poses something of a problem for the studio as Gable is technicallystill married--and the last thing the film needs is more negative publicity. Julie is there tofend off the overly curious reporters, hoping to prevent details about the affair fromslipping out. But she can barely keep up with her blonde employer, let alone control whatcomes out of Carole's mouth, and--as their friendship grows - soon finds she doesn'twant to.

Some of these tales--such as "Pending Vegan," which wonderfully captures aparental ache and anguish during a family visit to an aquatic theme park--are, inLethem's words, "obedient (at least outwardly) to realism." Others, like "The DreamingJaw, The Salivating Ear,", which deftly and hilariously captures the solipsism of blogculture, feature "the uncanny and surreal elements that still sometimes erupt in my shortstories."The tension between these two approaches, and the way they inform each other,increase the reader's surprise and delight as one realizes how cleverly Lethem is playingwith form. Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes and tropes--the anxietyof influence pushed to reduction ad absurdum in "The King of Sentences"; a haplessoutsider trying to summon up bravado in "The Porn Critic;" characters from the comicsstranded on a desert island; the necessity and the impossibility of action againstauthority in "Procedure in Plain Air." As always, Lethem's work, humor, and poignancywork in harmony; people strive desperately for connection through words
