Genrikh AltshullerRezensionen

Altov's three stories are dreck, with characters that exist only to spout Altov's weird problem solving system. Zhuravlyova's three stories are far superior: she's also touting Altov's system, but her characters sound like actual human beings and she's capable of coming up with actual plots for her stories.

The collection ends with a novella credited to both authors that is much stronger than any of Altov's solo stories, but weaker than Zhuravlyova's stories.

Startling reduction of the creative process into knowable and learnable rules. TRIZ drove Russian engineering and problem solving for decades, and is an important tool for anyone who makes a living solving seemingly intractable problems. Written by the creator of the method.
