Description

“Unravels the interplay of art, neuroscience and evolution, even as celebrating the special thing that may be human innovation.” ―Entrepreneur

“A full of life exploration of the software our brains run looking for the mother lode of invention” ―Nature

The Runaway Species is a deep-dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we will be able to strengthen our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. Anthony Brandt and David Eagleman are trying to find to respond to the question: what lies at the heart of humanity’s ability―and drive―to create?

Our ability to remake our world is unique among all living things. But where does our creativity come from, how does it work, and how are we able to harness it to strengthen our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions?

Brandt and Eagleman examine hundreds of examples of human creativity through dramatic storytelling and stunning images in this beautiful, full-color volume. By drawing out what creative acts have in common and viewing them through the lens of state of the art neuroscience, they uncover the essential elements of this critical human ability, and encourage a more creative future for all of us.
