Peter Thiel and Max Levchin are busy guys. Thiel, aside from being on the Board of Directors for companies like Palantir Technologies, Geni, Asana, and Facebook, also happens to be founder and president of hedge fund Clarium Capital as well as Managing Partner of his VC firm, Founder's Fund. Levchin was founder and CEO of Slide (which was acquired by Google), which he recently left when Google deadpooled all but one of Slide's products. Thiel and Levchin both famously steered PayPal (which they co-founded) through tricky waters during the crazy dotcom days, building it into the company we know today. Now, Thiel and Levchin are back working together, but this time on a different enterprise: A book. Along with Gary Kasparov, the two have written a book, called "The Blueprint: Reviving Innovation, Rediscovering Risk, and Rescuing the Free Market", which is expected to be published in March 2012. At TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco today, Thiel and Levchin sat down with TC's own Erick Schonfeld to talk about the changing face of innovation, disruption, and technology in the U.S.
