From David Byrne, the musician, writer, and multidisciplinary artist who co-founded Talking Heads and wrote How Music Works, comes a thought-provoking look at how great ideas get lost and found again.

We like to believe the best ideas are always recognized and rewarded right away. Byrne shows that's rarely true. Breakthroughs across art, science, and technology have often been overlooked for years, or even centuries, before the world caught up. These are the "sleeping beauties": brilliant ideas that arrived ahead of their time. Ranging across many eras and fields, Byrne explores why they fell asleep, what finally woke them, and how outsiders from other disciplines often break through the silos. The result is a humbling yet hopeful guide to spotting the next great thing and having the courage to try something new.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Creativity and innovation
• History of art, science, and technology
