The OP is supposed to be merely a review of a book that describes and wonders about the causes of technological stagnation in recent decades. But I found the OP to be more than "just a review:" It's a thought-provoking narrative that stands on its own. Rather than summarize its key points here, or voice any agreements or disagreements I may have with it, I will instead recommend you read it in its entirety before passing judgment. I ordered a copy of the book after reading it.
