In \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world. Journeying through biology, psychology, history, and culture, they show that thinking ahead is at the heart of human nature--even if we often get it terribly wrong. Incisive and expansive, \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh perspective on the human tale that shows how our species clawed its way to control the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHOMAS SUDDENDORF\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, Australia.
