The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World

â€œThe authors look at art and science together to examine how innovationsâ€•from Picassoâ€™s initially offensive paintings to Steve Jobsâ€™s startling iPhoneâ€•build on what already exists and rely on three brain operations: bending, breaking and blending. This manifesto . . . shows how both disciplines foster creativity.â€ â€•The Wall Street Journal

â€œThe Runaway Species approach[es] creativity scientifically but sensitively, feeling its roots without pulling them out.â€ â€•The Economist

The Runaway Species is a deep dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we can improve our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. David Eagleman and Anthony Brandt seek to answer the question: what lies at the heart of humanityâ€™s abilityâ€•and driveâ€•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 can we harness it to improve our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions?

Eagleman and Brandt 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 cutting-edge neuroscience, they uncover the essential elements of this critical human ability, and encourage a more creative future for all of us.
