DESIGN UNBOUND: DESIGNING FOR EMERGENCE IN A WHITE WATER WORLD, Volume 1 & 2
What is it?
Design Unbound, a two volume set, presents a new tool set for having agency in the twenty-first century, in what the authors characterize as a white water world - rapidly changing, hyperconnected, and radically contingent.

What can it do?
In a world where causality is systemic, entangled, in flux, and often elusive, we cannot design for absolute outcomes. Instead, we need to design for emergence. Design Unbound not only makes this case through theory but also presents a set of tools to do so.
