Pretty good. Although I was aware of the examples of booms the authors do deep-dives on, I was relatively unfamiliar with the Apollo Program and what the authors term “The Golden Age of Corporate R&D.” Both of those chapters were instructive. The Bitcoin chapter I don’t believe really fits in the book (its comparative lack of spill-over innovation weakens their thesis), and the ending is a little weak.
For folks interested in the topic, would recommend stopping before getting to Bitcoin.
