Worldchanging: A User’s Guide for the 21st Century might be the most important book you buy this year, if, you know, you want to help save the world. If you want a copy of the book, beautifully designed by Stefan Sagmeister,  you can help hack the publishing system and get the book to number 1 at amazon, which will of course generate much more coverage, sell more copies, and thus help to save the world faster. I knew the book was coming out, but forgot about it, so thanks to Bruce Sterling for reminding me via his speech at ideaconference 06. While we are on the topic of important books that can maybe help save the world, I highly recommend Mr Sterling’s Shaping Things, particularly if you are a designer. We’ve got ourselves into a very sticky situation here, and designing clever solutions is one of the ways we might possibly get ourselves out of it…
