Forthcoming nonfiction book

Selecting the Future: The Hidden Architecture of Innovation

An exploration of the hidden systems that determine which ideas receive attention, resources, and time, and how that architecture shapes the future.

Selecting the Future examines how funding systems, institutional incentives, cultural assumptions, and time horizons determine which ideas are discovered, supported, and sustained. It asks why some promising ideas move from possibility to impact while others remain unexplored.

How might we build innovation systems that expand the space of possible discovery?
