Wilson's great strength is in allowing the reader to understand the tragedy of mixed motives that allowed rulers to gamble their countries' future with such horrifying results. Peter Wilson's book is a major work, the first new history of the war in a generation, and a fascinating, brilliantly written attempt to explain a compelling series of events. At its end a recognizably modern Europe had been created but at a terrible price. Whether motivated by idealism or cynicism, everyone drawn into the conflict was destroyed by it. The war was both a religious and a political one and it was this tangle of motives that made it impossible to stop. All the major European powers apart from Russia were heavily involved and, while each country started out with rational war aims, the fighting rapidly spiralled out of control, with great battles giving way to marauding bands of starving soldiers spreading plague and murder. The horrific series of conflicts known as the Thirty Years War (1618-48) tore the heart out of Europe, killing perhaps a quarter of all Germans and laying waste to whole areas of Central Europe to such a degree that many towns and regions never recovered.

Some sections of the novel are narrated by Oh. The story is mostly narrated by the book itself. Oh's relationship with his mother, an archivist and hoarder, deteriorates and he begins spending time in a public library, befriending a group of outsiders including an artist and a poet. Summary įollowing the death of his father, Benny Oh, a Canadian boy of Japanese-Korean descent, begins hearing voices calling out from inanimate objects. Ozeki previously spent time in the system's central branch researching her 1998 debut novel, My Year of Meats'. The library that plays a central role in the story is based on Vancouver Public Library. Ozeki took eight years to write the book. The death of Ozeki's father also shaped the book. A question from a Zen parable "do insentient beings speak the dharma?” formed the central theme of the narrative. The novel was partially inspired by Zen Buddhism.

'The last big one remaining in the world the only one is Twitter.'. But iteration without a bold plan won’t take you from 0 to 1. Newsletters An icon in the shape of a persons head and shoulders. Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and the first outside investor in Facebook, argues that technology has stagnated. To go from zero to one is to conjure something into existence from the dark void of oblivion. This is the greatest leap possible greater than going from one to 10 or even from one to 100. You could build the best version of an app that lets people order toilet paper from their iPhone. Zero to One is entrepreneur and venture capitalist Peter Thiel’s unconventional advice for technology startups. Going from zero to one means going from nothing to something. Making small changes to things that already exist might lead you to a local maximum, but it won’t help you find the global maximum. But leanness is a methodology, not a goal. Would-be entrepreneurs are told that nothing can be known in advance: we’re supposed to listen to what customers say they want, make nothing more than a “minimum viable product,” and iterate our way to success. “Even in engineering-driven Silicon Valley, the buzzwords of the moment call for building a “lean startup” that can “adapt” and “evolve” to an ever-changing environment.

To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability and he went on his journey. Jesus was explaining what the kingdom of heaven would be like in common terms.įor it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.
