About this audiobook
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?
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. Composer Anthony Brandt and neurologist David Eagleman seek to discover what lies at the heart of humanity's ability - and drive - to create.
Examining hundreds of examples of human creativity, Brandt and Eagleman draw out what creative acts have in common and view them through the lens of cutting-edge neuroscience, uncovering the essential elements of this critical human ability and encouraging a more creative future for all of us.

Reviews for The Runaway Species
19 ratings2 reviews
- 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An interesting discussion of creativity and examples from throughout history. It makes interesting parallels between art and science.
