After more than half of a century, the book: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions[1] by Thomas Kuhn is ever more relevant to the current civilization. If we relate the notion of science, to rigorous use of curated data or evidence, then, the book could be named to be The Structure of Data Revolutions. Focusing on data would further accentuate the insights in this book and its relevance in the 21st century. The book also has many translated versions[2].
