They were the disruptors, upending established cultural, technical, spiritual, or scientific paradigms and altering the way we live forever. In The Disruptors, bestselling author Alan Axelrod presents dramatic and illuminating profiles, accompanied by original line drawings, of 50 visionaries who didn’t settle for the status quo. Their innovations range from the printing press (Gutenberg) to the fight for women’s equality (Friedan), from the iPhone (Jobs) to the innovation of hip-hop (Harc). They altered expectations about what constitutes art (Pollock), who controlled the way people worshiped (Luther), and where humanity came from (Darwin).
