Peter Thiel and Blake Masters co-wrote the book "Zero to One" which discusses how to create new technologies and businesses. The book argues that in a world of limited resources, globalization without new technologies is unsustainable. It outlines seven key questions every business must answer regarding engineering, timing, monopoly potential, personnel, distribution, durability, and secrets. The presentation recommends the book as it emphasizes the importance of creating singular innovations, or achieving "singularity", to build the future.
