Our world is filled with pernicious problems. How, for example, did novice pilots learn to fly without taking to the air and risking their lives? How should cities process our waste without polluting the environment? Challenges that tangle personal, public, and planetary aspects--often occurring in health, infrastructure, business, and policy--are known as wicked problems.

In Wicked Problems, engineer Guru Madhavan examines historic tragedies and lesser-known tales, from the efficient design of battleships to a volcano eruption that curtailed global commerce. Braided throughout is the uplifting tale of Edwin Link, who revolutionized aviation with his flight trainer. In Link's story, Madhavan uncovers a model mindset to engage with wickedness. An homage to society's innovators and maintainers, Wicked Problems offers a refreshing vision for readers of all backgrounds to build a better future.
