| We present the two-generator framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics with a strong emphasis on fundamental notions rather than mathematical details. The underlying statistical mechanics and the implications for thermodynamically guided simulation techniques are sketched briefly. The usefulness and maturity of the framework are illustrated by reviewing a large number of recent far-from-equilibrium applications, where nonlinearity rules. Finally, we offer some promising perspectives for the future of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
