Design, When Everybody Designs
This book presents a vision of the future so remarkable almost utopian that it may seem like a dream when viewed against today’s chaotic social landscape. Yet, as the author unpacks each idea, the seemingly far-fetched becomes grounded in reason and real possibility.
Rather than mere idealism, the book offers a practical guide to rethinking how we address today’s crises from diminishing resources and a rising global population to lifestyles that negatively impact the environment and climate. These urgent challenges make sustainability not just an option, but a necessity, and this book dares to sketch out a new path forward.
