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.

      There's an inherent optimism in narrator Mauro Hantman's voice as he narrates this thorough and entertaining examination of all that it is to be a creative human being. From the innovative thought process that went into the rescue of Apollo 13 to Picasso's experiments with shape and form and the invention of the driverless automobile, creativity comes in many forms and has no bounds. But to the authors, a composer and a neurologist, creativity must be nurtured. With an earnest, almost urgent, tone, Hantman delves into the need the authors see for tailoring and investing in new educational opportunities that will encourage the next generation to imagine and create a new version of the world.
