a| Literature is a technology like any other. The writers we revere each made unique discoveries that solved problems science could not crack: how to maintain courage in the face of death; how to overcome heartache, failure, and doubt to find joy, hope, and purpose. Fletcher considers twenty-five works-- from ancient Chinese lyrics and fairy tales to Hamlet, crime novels and slave narratives-- and uncovers them as literary blueprints for empowering "inventions" in the history of literature. -- adapted from jacket
