Blacksburg Books presents an Author Night with Lee Vinsel on Thursday, September 9, 2021.
Lee Vinsel will be discussing his newest book, "The Innovation Delusion", in which he argues that, over the past fifty years, our culture has become obsessed with a wrong-headed idea of "innovation."
He claims that our delusions have several costs. One of them is that our quest for the shiny and new leads us to neglect maintaining, repairing, and generally taking care of what we already have, including ourselves. In this talk, he will reflect on how these thoughts relate to Virginia Tech and the New River Valley, both of which, explicitly or implicitly, feature in the book.
Admission is free.
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street in Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
Free parking is available around back.
