The Geography of Genius

Author: Eric Weiner

Why it’s on the list: Weiner travels through history’s great creative hotspots — Athens, Hangzhou, Florence, Edinburgh, Calcutta, Vienna, Silicon Valley — to ask why genius clusters in particular places and eras rather than in particular people.

Connections

  • Genius — the book’s central question: what makes a place produce genius.
  • Pairs with Kyle’s City Building / creative-cluster interests.
