Today's Quilter by Lily Myers Kaplan is a thought-provoking book that explores the intersection of technology and quilting, two seemingly disparate fields that have more in common than one might think. The author argues that the process of technology evolution is not just about inventing new gadgets and machines, but rather it is about understanding the underlying principles and patterns that drive innovation and progress. She suggests that by studying and understanding these principles, we can develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, which is essential for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The book begins with an overview of the history of quilting, from its origins as a practical craft for keeping warm to its current status as an art form. Kaplan then delves into the science behind quilting, explaining how the principles of geometry, mathematics, and physics are all intertwined in this ancient craft. She shows how the same principles that govern the construction of a quilt - balance, harmony, and pattern - also apply to the development of technology. Kaplan argues that the process of technology evolution is not just about inventing new gadgets and machines, but rather it is about understanding the underlying principles and patterns that drive innovation and progress.
