Over a year ago I preordered a book titled The Blueprint, intrigued by its three accomplished co-authors: Peter Thiel, Max Levchin, and Garry Kasparov. The subtitle of the book was Reviving Innovation, Rediscovering Risk, and Rescuing the Free Market.

The ship date on Amazon kept pushing back and pushing back, and finally I learned why in an aside in Why We Can't Solve Big Problems:

Levchin, Thiel, and Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, had planned a book, to be titled The Blueprint, that would “explain where the world’s innovation has gone.” Originally intended to be released in March of this year, it has been indefinitely postponed, according to Levchin, because the authors could not agree on a set of prescriptions.
