How Big Things Get Done: The Surprising Factors That Determine the Fate of Every Project, from Home Renovations to Space Exploration and Everything In Between by Bent Flyvbjerg My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’d love to love this book. I’ve tried my hand at quite a few ‘pop’-social-science books this past year — the type a certain group on twitter love recommending — but none of them clicked with me.
