Bessen argues that the economic value of major innovations often depends less on the breakthrough itself than on the long, messy process of learning how to use, improve, and organize around it. Drawing on economic history, labor-market analysis, and examples from industrial and digital technologies, the book challenges the common assumption that automation simply destroys jobs and lowers wages in a straightforward way. Instead, it shows how new technologies can reshape work through task substitution, new skills, and new forms of employment. The book is especially relevant for readers trying to understand why innovation can coexist with wage stagnation, how firms and workers adapt to change, and what kinds of policies may help make technological progress more broadly shared.
