ASSEMBLING TOMORROW by Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter is subtitled "A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future."From the Stanford d.school, this text outlines innovative potential and its sometimes consequences. Honestly, the book is a bit difficult to wade through, alternating between essays and fiction selections. It truly requires concentration and a time commitment. Readers may also be interested in titles like Drawing on Courage and Creative Acts for Curious People which we have ordered from this series provided by Stanford d.school.

Loved the approach of this book. So hybrid. There's fiction, nonfiction, past and imagination of future. I like the idea of unseeing the pattern where it is not there as we humans tend to find pattern in everything and see wrong things. This book stretches your mind far into the future with literature.

This is one of the books that is quite difficult to name as for its purpose. It is multifacet because of the way it made me feel and think after reading it. For me this was the way to reflect after each chapter and imagine the way future will be in terms of society, technology, business, objects we use and things we are used to. The journey throughout this book brings you examples from the past and ignited your imagination of what can possibly happen in the future. The emotions after reading are like using an imaginary timemachine that allows your fantasy to travel free.
