BTW, as a fan of Christensen's classic The Innovator's Dilemma, I thought Loonshots was quite good as an alternative perspective where Product-type and Strategy-type innovations are discussed in comparison to Christensen's sustaining vs disruptive innovations.
I would suggest Loonshots - fascinating dive into both the technology and the conditions that allowed people to really make stuff happen (or not)
