Moshe Yudkowsky, a veteran speech researcher and
independent consultant, formerly of Bell
Laboratories, Dialogic,
and Intel, has published
The Pebble and the Avalanche: How taking things apart creates revolutions.
He says that many of the technical and business innovations in the last 200
years have a common characteristic—disaggregation. In addition to a historical
perspective, he gives practical advice on how to use this insight to evaluate
business and technical ideas for their revolutionary potential.
