About the Book
In the land of Stacia, where paths are paved with predictable patterns and every interaction is bound by static rules, a young wanderer dares to leave the known world behind. Their quest? To reach Hyperion – the city of endless connection, where knowledge flows like rivers and discovery is the key to survival.
Guided by four enigmatic teachers along the way, our hero learns:
- From Gibby the Gecko, the power of thinking in systems, seeing not just the parts but the intricate dance of the whole.
- From Deena the Chimp, the art of design – crafting experiences where affordances guide actions as naturally as breath.
- From Artie the Owl, the discipline of building robust architectures that empower evolution rather than constrain it.
- From Master Control, the wisdom to remember that all maps are abstractions, and true understanding requires humility and awareness.
Through this journey, discover how to think, design, build, and interact in a world where information is the coin of the realm, and adaptability is the hero’s greatest weapon.
Can you reach Hyperion and unlock the secrets of emergent design? The path awaits.
