The Geography of Genius

The Geography of Genius, by New York Times bestselling author Eric Weiner, explores how creative genius flourishes in specific places at specific times and how certain urban settings are conducive to ingenuity. Places covered in the book include ancient Athens, Renaissance Florence, Silicon Valley, Song Dynasty Hangzhou, and Vienna of 1900.

As he visits these settings, he asks, “What was in the air, and can we bottle it?” This book presents an argument about how genius came to be, stressing the importance of culture in nurturing creativity throughout history.
