Altshuller as I knew him: Memoirs about the man who invented TRIZ

The book offers a personal portrait of Genrikh S. Altshuller-the visionary creator of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ)-drawn from the stories Altshuller himself shared with his student and collaborator Yevgeny Karasik. Rather than a conventional biography, this book brings Altshuller to life through memories of different periods and episodes of his remarkable life. His stories reveal a man of extraordinary curiosity and imagination, but also a person with a distinctive sense of humor and an independent mind. Through these recollections, readers encounter Altshuller not simply as the creator of TRIZ, but as a complex and fascinating human being. His stories offer glimpses into his experiences, observations, friendships, challenges, and the events that shaped his thinking. For readers interested in TRIZ, the history of inventive thinking, or the life of Genrikh Altshuller one of the 20th century's most original thinkers.
