Ridley definuje inovácie ako proces nepretržitého objavovania spôsobov ako preusporiadať svet do foriem, ktorých náhodný vznik je nepravdepodobný. Je opakom entropie - výsledné entity sú usporiadanejšíe než boli východzie formy. Navyše je inovácia neobmedzená, lebo aj keď sa výsledná forma už nedá ďalej zlepšiť, stále sa dá nájsť spôsob ako k nej dospieť rýchlejśie a s menšou spotrebou energie. Cituje tiež nositeľa Nobelovej ceny Edmunda Phelpsa, ktorý inováciu  definoval ako "novú metódu alebo produkt ktorý sa začne používať niekde na svete".

V procese inovácie hrá veľkú úlohu šťastie a hravosť a peto vznikajú v liberálnych ekonomikách kde sú dobré príležitosti k voľnému experimentovaniu. Poskytujú pocit šťastia a dávajú šancu náhode. K inováciám dochádza, keď majú ľudia čas premýšlať, experimentovať a špekulovať. Dochádza k nim tam, kde si ľudia môžu svoje produkty vymieňať a zobchodovať. Tam, kde sú ľudia bohatí, nie tam kde sú zúfalí. Vyžadujú si investície a dochádza k nim v mestách. Inovácie sa presadzujú postupne, ľudia sú náchylní preceňovať ich krátkodobé efekty  a podceňovať dlhodobé (tzv. "Amarov hype cyklus").

Ridley na Edisonovom príklade demonštruje že inovácie sa rodia metóu pokus-omyl a učenie sa praxou považuje za najvýznamnejší inovačný postup. Ako zdroj inovácií slúži aj prípad "šťastných chýb" keď niečo začne fungovať akoby omylom či náhodou a až dodatočne sa nájde racionálne vyvetlenie.

Niektoré inovácie sa predierali len veľmi ťažko. Očkovanie bolo považované za "barbarskú praktiku" ale aj cesta zemiakov bola strastiplná. Hoci sa v Európe objavili už v roku 1567, masovo sa začali pestovať až v roku 1800. Ešte v roku 1748 francúzsky parlament zakázal ich konzumáciu vzhľadom na obavu z toho že spôsobuje lepru. Skutočnú tragédiu však spôsobil ich výpadok v r. 1845 kvôli plesni, ktorá zničila úrodu zemiakov a napr. v Írsku spôsobila hladomor.

Telegraf a morseova abeceda sa presadili v r. 1843, rozhlasové vysielanie až po r. 1920. A práve zneužitie rozhlasu nacistickou propagandou bolo predzvesťou toho, čoho sme svedkami dnes - polarizácie spoločnosti sociálnymi sieťami.

Príbeh prvého počítača je zaujímavý tým, že nič také ako "prvý počítač" ani neexistuje. Aj v tomto prípade išlo o mnoho nadväzujúcich inovácií, ktoré nakoniec priviedli k dnešnej informatickej spoločnosti.
Inovácie začali akcelerovať začiatkom 1970-tych rokov, keď vznikali kľúčové inovácie: mikroprocesor v r. 1971, prvná videohra v r. 1972, protokoly TCP/IP tvoriace internet v r. 1973, počítač Xerox Parc Alto s grafickým používateľským rozhraním v r. 1974, Apple 1 Steva Joba a Steva Wozniaka v r. 1975, superpočítač Cray 1 v r. 1976, herné konzoly Atari v r. 1977, CD disk v r .1978, predchodca prvých počítačových vírusov typu „červ" v r. 1979, domáci počítač Sinclair ZX80 v r. 1980, počítač IBM v r. 1981, software Lotus 123 v r. 1982, CD-ROM v r. 1983, slovo „kyberpriestor“ v r. 1984, WELL (Whole Earth „Lectronic Link") Stewarta Branda v r. 1985, superpočítač CM-1 v r. 1986, GSM štandard pre mobilné telefóny v r. 1987, počítačový program Mathematica Stephena Wolframa v r. 1988, Game Boy od Nintenda a Dynabook od Toshiby v r. 1989, World Wide Web v r. 1990, Linux Linusa Torvaldsa v r. 1991, film Terminátor 2 v r. 1992, procesor Intel Pentium v r. 1993, ZIP disk v r. 1994, Windows 95 v r. 1995, Palm Pilot v r. 1996, porážka šachového veľmajstra Garryho Kasparova počítačom Deep Blue od IBM v r. 1997, farebný iMac od Apple v r. 1998, GeForce 256, grafická karta od společnosti NVIDIA, v r. 1999, hra Sims v r. 2000...
 
Aj príbeh objavenia DNA a následné inovácie v oblasti génového inžinierstva sú poučné. Odpor proti biotechnológiám v EÚ je ďalšou témou čomu sa Ridley venuje. Princíp tzv. predbežnej opatrnosti EÚ spôsobuje obrovské škody keďže stále preferuje jedy miesto modernejších a menej škodlivých GMO plodín rezistentným proti škodcom. Spôsobuje i zaostávanie Európy v uplatňovaní metódy editácie génov CRISPR.
 
Na príklade kompaktnej žiarovky zavedenej EÚ ukazuje Ridley prípad chybnej inovácie zavedenej zhora. 6-ročné intermezzo, kým sa kompaktné žiarovky nenahradili LED žiarovkami autor charakterizuje ako kombináciu politiky záujmových skupín a nezodpovedného symbolizmu určeného na ukľudnenie frustrovaných voličov.
