Its over 50 years since Robert Pirsig's book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (ZAM) was published.  ZAM is the story of Robert Pirsig's struggle with various paradoxes, a story with no tidy endings. In this era of omni-crisis the questions raised are more relevant than ever and hold clues for the innovator who wants to integrate Mythos and Logos and strive for Quality. 

This episode also references the sequel to ZAM, Lila a work just as profound, one well work seeking out by fans of ZAM.

Following on from Darrell's Innovation Workshop based on Pirsig's work, in a second ZAM related episode, Darrell, Mikey and Shana bravely venture forth into the zone of abstract ideas.
