crucial manifesto against stagnation that reframes the value of bubbles as generative forces rather than just destructive ones. the Apollo program was a bubble, Bitcoin was a bubble, even Xerox PARC was a bubble. nails how self-reinforcing optimism creates futures that couldn't exist without collective delusion first. best insight: truly transformative tech never appears as "5% better" versions of existing stuff. cars weren't better horses, and crypto isn't just banking with extra steps. the authors make a compelling case that meaningful progress often requires "definite optimism" — concrete visions that catalyze collective action rather than vague hopes for GDP growth. makes you realize that transcendent projects require both individualism and collective vision, which explains why innovation is dying in our hyper-regulated present. essential for understanding why sometimes you need irrational exuberance to build anything worth building.
