And how do they wake up?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe love to believe in a meritocracy of ideas - that greatness is always recognised, innovation always seized upon and rewarded. Yet so many of the people we now recognise as the world's great creators initially got little traction for their work. It was only later, often much later, that their work comes roaring back to life and made a lasting impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Discoveries as diverse as dark matter to continental drift, technologies from solar panels to the steam engine, artists from Brueghel to Vermeer to Melville all created 'sleeping beauties'.  Ranging across many centuries and the full scope of human endeavour, Byrne explores their stories and gives us a lens for identifying future breakthroughs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Humbling yet hopeful, these stories celebrate the courage to try new things and the wisdom to embrace them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Byrne\u003c\/b\u003e, co-founder of the musical group Talking Heads, has also released several solo albums in addition to collaborating with such noted artists as Twyla Tharp, Robert Wilson, and Brian Eno.
