About this ebook
“The Runaway Species approach[es] creativity scientifically but sensitively, feeling its roots without pulling them out.” —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 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 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing, informative, inspiring and provocative! Insightful, relevant and powerful examples to share with students and fellows. You don't want to miss this one!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pointless but inexplicably fun to read. Clearly, the authors had just as much fun writing it. Repeats the tired old revisionist myth about Ada Lovelace and makes reaching claims about art but all is forgiven, its just too positive to be angry about it.
