When Lightning Doesn't Strike: The Real Story of Innovation
A young Charles Darwin stands in warm tropical waters in 1836, staring at a puzzle that would haunt him for years. The coral reef beneath his feet explodes with life-thousands of species thriving in what should be a biological desert. The surrounding ocean contains almost no nutrients, yet this underwater metropolis hums with more diversity than a rainforest. How? This mystery, later called "Darwin's Paradox," contains a secret that extends far beyond marine biology. It reveals something fundamental about how breakthrough ideas actually emerge-not from isolated geniuses having sudden revelations, but from densely connected environments where elements can collide, combine, and create something entirely new. Bill Gates calls this insight one of the most important ideas about innovation ever written. Silicon Valley entrepreneurs quote it in boardrooms. Yet most of us still cling to the myth of the lone inventor struck by lightning.
