...think of innovation as a creative, nonlinear concept. Yet you and Charan are saying it's a manageable process. Isn't there a conflict here? I don't think so, because first of all, we have a definition of innovation. For us there's a big difference between an idea or invention and innovation.

Each character lives in the world of his thoughts, fanatically obsessed with a particular subject—for Keith, it is modern American politics, for Mark, the 1917 Russian Revolution, and for Sam, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They do not just ponder these subjects abstractly, but live through them; their entire world is framed by them. For the characters, the whole world can be understood as analogous to these ideas. When Mark tries to convince Celeste, the woman he desires, to leave her boyfriend for him, his inner monologue...
