'The future is always uncertain, and that's a good thing. Uncertainty x Design teaches us how to meet uncertain futures with a sense of hope and possibility, and how to make them not more predictable but more productive, more exciting, more welcoming. Ron Beghetto's new book is an instant classic, a key resource for educators and anyone else interested in co-designing, from today, a brighter tomorrow.' Vlad Glaveanu, Dublin City University, Ireland
