Discover the secret of human inventiveness and understand why our minds are unique!

The Pattern Seekers presents a groundbreaking theory that links humans' ability to create new things with the recognition of patterns, specifically so-called "if-and-then" patterns. This book takes you on a fascinating journey to discover why only humans can invent and how this unique skill has shaped human civilization for thousands of years.

Psychologist and world-renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen proposes the bold idea that the genetic basis of this ability is related to genes associated with autism. As a result, the book not only highlights our greatest human strengths but also offers a new perspective on people who think differently and are often misunderstood.

From the first musical instruments through the agricultural and industrial revolutions to the digital age - The Pattern Seekers shows how pattern recognition drives human progress and offers inspiration for anyone who wants to better understand themselves and the world around them.
