Powers of Two: Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs

Author Joshua Wolf Shenk and screenwriter Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker) look at why two is the magic number through which creative intimacy unfolds and innovation springs.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Marie and Pierre Curie, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: when it comes to shaping culture, collaborative dyads have been behind everything from “South Park” to the American Civil Rights movement to Starry Night. Author Joshua Wolf Shenk identifies the core qualities of that dizzying experience we call “chemistry” and explains how pairs begin to talk, think and even look like each other; how the most successful ones thrive on conflict; and why some pairs flame out while others endure.
