A powerful guide to why even the most wellintentioned innovations go haywire, and the surprising ways we can change course to create a more positive future, by two celebrated experts working at the intersection of design, technology, and learning at Stanford Universitys acclaimed d.school.This brilliant book offers a new approach to all creative work that will expand your understanding of what it means to make and open up possibilities you didnt know existedit did for me.Adam Johnson, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Orphan Masters SonIn Assembling Tomorrow, authors Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter explore the intangible forces that prevent us from anticipating just how fantastically technology can get out of control, and what might be in store for us if we dont start using new tools and tactics. Despite our best intentions, our most transformative innovations tend to have consequences we cant always predict. From the effects of social media to the uncertainty of AI and the consequences of climate change, the outcomes of our creations ripple across our lives. Time and again, our seemingly ceaseless capacity to create rubs up against our limited capacity to understand our impact.Assembling Tomorrow explores how to use readily accessible tools to both mend the mistakes of our past and shape our future for the better. We live in an era of runaway design, where innovations tangle with our lives in unpredictable ways. This book explores the offkilter feelings of today and follows up with actionables to alter your perspective and help you find opportunities in these turbulent times.Mixed throughout are histories of the future, short pieces of speculative fiction that imagine the future as if it has already happened and consider the past with a critical yet hopeful eye so that all of usas designers of our own futurescan create a better world for generations to come.
