The following nine titles are a good place to start to see how others are thinking creatively about education and the evolving human mind. 

• The Element, Sir Ken Robinson.
• The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail–but Some Don’t, Nate Silver.
• A New Culture of Learning: Cultivating the Imagination for a World of Constant Change, Thomas and John Seely Brown.
• DIY U: Edupunks, Edupreneurs and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education, Anya Kamenetz.
• Five Minds for the Future, Howard Gardner.
• The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, Nicolas Carr.
• Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman.
• Spreadable Media: Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked Culture, Henry Jenkins, Sam Ford and Joshua Green.
• The Roving Mind, Isaac Asimov.
