A Financial Times Business Book of the Month from a leading venture capitalist offers a host of revelations on who will be driving innovation in the years to come.Finalist for the 2016 Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower PrizeScott Hartley artfully explains why it is time for us to get over the false division between the human and the technical. Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO and author of Change by DesignScott Hartley first heard the terms fuzzy and techie while studying political science at Stanford University. If you majored in humanities or social sciences, you were a fuzzy. If you majored in computer or hard sciences, you were a techie. While Silicon Valley is generally considered a techie stronghold, the founders of companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, Slack, LinkedIn, PayPal, Stitch Fix, Reddit, and others are all fuzziesin other words, people with backgrounds in the liberal arts.In this brilliantly counterintuitive book, Hartley shatters assumptions about business and education today: learning to code is not enough. The soft skillscuriosity, communication, and collaboration, along with an understanding of psychology and societal illsare central to why technology has value. Fuzzies are the instrumental stewards of robots, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. They offer a human touch that is of equal if not greater importance in our technologyled world than what most techies can provide.For anyone doubting whether a wellrounded liberal arts education is practical in todays world, Hartleys work will come as an inspiring revelation.
