Eric Ries, creator of the Lean Startup method and author of *The Lean Startup*, will discuss his upcoming book, *Incorruptible*. He posits that all commercial and civic infrastructure, though seemingly immutable, can be reinvented.

His Long Now Talk, facilitated by Denise Hearn, will delve into architecting accountability and governance mechanisms that outlive their creators and remain resilient across generations.

His new book, *Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad…and How Great Companies Stay Great*, is available May 28, 2026.
