More about the book
Emphasizing a shift from a singular Utopia to multiple 'micro-utopias,' the book encourages a more open-minded and pluralistic approach to societal design. Drawing on a diverse range of philosophical and scientific perspectives, it critiques individualistic and mechanistic thinking, proposing that a metadesign approach could foster innovative governance. The author challenges readers to reconsider the feasibility of miracles by making them 'thinkable,' advocating for a less critical mindset that embraces temporary and varied solutions to contemporary issues.
