Why we picked it Perez zooms out to centuries of technological surges and shows a repeating pattern: a new technology installs quietly, gets over hyped into a bubble, crashes, then deploys for real. Knowing which phase you are in tells you whether a trend is early, frothy, or finally ready to build on. It is the macro map behind why some trends pay off years later than the hype suggests.
