Meticulously researched, thought-provoking, and engrossing... The book is jam-packed with stories-some historical, some scientific-that are easy to follow. The authors punctuate the narrative with just the right amount of humor and incisive commentary. --Psychology Today A fascinating exploration of the power and potential of the human mind - and the importance of future thinking for the success of our species. --Tali Sharot, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London and MIT, and author of The Influential Mind Why is our ability to think ahead enormously greater than it is in other species? The Invention of Tomorrow provides a fascinating and authoritative look at one of humanity's most important and least explored powers. --Richard Wrangham, Ruth Moore Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University, and author of Catching Fire A fascinating perspective on what it means to be human, told with a clear voice and an expansive canvas... Sprinkled throughout the book are well-placed moments of deadpan humor to leaven the authoritative research. --Kirkus Stimulating [...] sure to captivate popular science readers. Fans of Steven Pinker will want to check this out. --Publishers Weekly The authors of this exciting book argue vividly and convincingly that our ability to immerse ourselves mentally in past and future worlds is what makes us such a philosophizing, technologizing, and cogitating species. It's a hot topic in cognitive neuroscience and a stroke of insight about what makes humans human. --Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of Rationality
