I know that the point of this book is stated to be "that there's a clearly visible coarse-grained order that drives biological and social life."

I'm sorry, I'm probably dumb, but I'm not getting the "point" of the book based on this summary.

All the examples shown seem to say: See there are macro trends happening, some of them are exponential. And here are some correlations that prove they have an affect on the real world, seee?

Can someone explain what I'm missing?

Edit: I guess maybe the point is we need to pick up the pace of innovation as a society?
