Here's What Others Are Saying:
John Lovitt - Innovating Emergent Futures is a window into a world of possibilities that emerge from new capabilities (agencies) applied in novel ways. This is not about the usual incremental creativity that slightly improves existing ways of doing things, but rather about whole new worlds of potential that can only be realized with a fundamentally different approach.

Robert Ransick: This powerful book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to transcend reactive and constrained approaches purporting to be innovation and move toward imagining wholly new possibilities that transcend problem solving and move into generative and creative worldmaking.

Ben Pearson - An eye-opening, mind-expanding book that designers, creatives and innovators of all experiences should read! The possibilities are endless when you see the world through the eyes of the crow.
