The book explores the nature, underlying causes, and the information processing mechanism of serendipity. It proposes that natural or social survival demands drive serendipity, and serendipity is conditional on the environment and the mindset, on both individual and collective levels.

The book also discusses methods to build environments and cultures rich in navigational and useful information to maximize the chance of finding and capitalizing on serendipity. As a skill, serendipity has a resemblance to how kingfishers observe and hunt their prey Description of the peer review process for the book titled A New Theory of Serendipity "A New Theory of Serendipity: Nature, Emergence and Mechanism" is covered by the following services: - Baidu Scholar - Barnes & Noble - BDS - BoD - Bowker Book Data - Ciando - CNKI Scholar (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) - Dimensions - EBSCO - ExLibris - Google Books - Google Scholar - Naviga - ReadCube - Semantic Scholar - TDOne (TDNet) - WorldCat (OCLC) - X-MOL Additionally, the proceedings volume is registered and indexed in the Crossref database and accessible on Amazon.
