Over the last twenty years, our economy and our society,
from how we shop and pay our bills to how we communicate,
have been completely revolutionized by technology. As Aneesh
Chopra shows in Innovative State, once it became clear how
much this would change America, a movement arose around the
idea that these same technologies could reshape and improve
government. But the idea languished, and while the private
sector innovated, our government stalled, trapped in a model
designed for the America of the 1930s and 1960s. The election of Barack Obama offered a new opportunity. In
2009, Aneesh Chopra was named the first Chief Technology
Officer of the United States federal government. Previously
the Secretary of Technology for Virginia and managing
director for a health care think tank, Chopra was tasked
with leading the administration’s initiatives for a more
open, tech-savvy government. Inspired by private sector trailblazers, Chopra wrote the
playbook for governmental open innovation. In Innovative
State he offers an absorbing look at how open government can
establish a new paradigm for the internet era and allow us
to tackle our most challenging problems, from economic
development to affordable health care.
