To build a better future, one must believe in the power of secrets and uncharted frontiers. In “Zero to One,” Peter Thiel argues that despite the rapid advances in information technology, we live in an era of technological stagnation. True progress, according to Thiel, comes not from doing what others already know, but from thinking independently and creating something entirely new. He emphasizes that future leaders will succeed by escaping competition and building unique businesses. “Zero to One” offers an optimistic view of progress, urging us to ask the right questions to discover value in unexpected places.
