Innovation isn’t a formula—it’s a chaotic, collaborative dance between science, business, and society. Professor Eugene Fitzgerald’s new book, “The Invisible Engine,” reveals how breakthroughs become value through decentralized networks of people and companies, not top-down control. Drawing from a decade leading global research projects, Fitzgerald exposes the missing academic narrative behind real-world innovation, inspired by early 20th-century economist Frank Knight’s idea that entrepreneurs thrive on uncertainty. His own journey—from a lab discovery at Bell Labs to startup co-founder and patent battles—shows that messy, unpredictable paths often lead to market magic. Fitzgerald urges innovators, leaders, and policymakers to stop trying to engineer innovation and instead trust the “invisible engine” to deliver surprising, profitable results.
