Over the past hundred years our world has undergone astonishing socio-political and technological changes, and we have seen major shifts in our beliefs and expression.
The influence of Picasso in art, Virginia Woolf in literature, Trotsky to Thatcher in politics, is well documented . But many people of enormous influence remain relatively unknown to the general reader: individuals like Tim Berners-Lee - hardly a household name, yet he invented something we now use as an indispensable everyday tool, the World Wide Web.
Be it subtle or obvious, influence spreads through networks of information, knowledge and power to challenge norms and spark change.
The people in this book are a selection of the thousands of thinkers and doers who have changed the world we walk.
