The book argues that neoliberal capitalism has stifled true innovation, transforming serendipity—a concept of accidental discovery—into a tool for corporate gain in the creative industries. Olma contends that Silicon Valley's technological advancements, while initially transformative, have become stagnant under capitalist structures. The book calls for reclaiming serendipity as a means of resistance and fostering genuine innovation. Aimed at critics of digital capitalism and those interested in the intersection of technology and culture, Olma presents a polemical yet erudite exploration of creativity's potential in a future beyond capitalist constraints.Generated by AI.CapitalismGenerated by AICreative ability in businessGenerated by AICapitalismCreative ability in business123.3Olma Sebastian1375830MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154845703321In Defence of Serendipity3410854UNINA
