Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About It by Chris Clearfield explores how complexity causes problems in modern systems and how individuals, organizations, and societies can prevent or mitigate the resulting failures.

Meltdown was named a best book of the year by the Financial Times and won the National Business Book Award in 2019.

In reviewing the book in The Wall Street Journal, concluded that:

"Meltdown effectively conveys why addressing systemic failures is both difficult and essential: difficult because it’s so much more comfortable to rely on gut instinct and trust familiar colleagues than to insist on structured approaches and solicit the views of others; essential because we are moving into the danger zone and need all the help we can get."

Meltdown received the George R. Terry Book Award of the Academy of Management, granted annually to "the book judged to have made the most outstanding contribution to the global advancement of management knowledge during the last two years."

The book also won the Thinkers50 Strategy Award in 2019 and was described as "one of the stand-out business books of the last decade."
