The human ability to create is unique. But where does the instinct to innovate come from, and how does it work? Why does our hunger for novelty drive us to keep designing new buildings, new bikes, new hairstyles? How do we imagine things that don't yet exist? And, in a world which is changing faster than ever before, how do we prepare our children to meet the creative challenge of making the future?

Weaving together art and science, neuroscientist David Eagleman and composer Anthony Brandt explore the miraculous ways our runaway species bends, breaks and blends the world to make it new.
