After more than half of a century, the book: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions[1] by Thomas Kuhn is ever more relevant to the modern 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. This clearly will show its relevance in the 21st century. The book also has many translated versions[2].
