In Defence of Serendipity is a lively and buccaneering work of investigative idea, treating the origins of 'serendipity, car accident and sagacity' as both riddles and philosophical concepts that can be put to another political use. Taking in Aristotle, LSD, Tony Blair and techno-mysticism, Olma troubles the prevailing trust in the benevolence of digital technology and the illegitimate formula of innovation and entrepreneurship, arguing instead that we must take responsibility for the health care of society's digital infrastructure and stop its degeneration into an equipment of marketing and financing. For although there is nothing incorrect with marketing and financing per se, if they alone lead scientific development, free from any discretionary politics interference, the independence to be exploited will be the maximum amount of a part of the near future as our ability to intervene freely inside our lives will be a thing of the past.
