TOL | The Storybook Origins of Your Smartphone

What do your earbuds, your tablet, and the submarine have in common? They were all dreamed up in the pages of a book long before they existed in reality. This episode is a journey into the profound power of the question, "Imagine what if." We'll explore how speculative fiction has served as the unofficial R&D department for humanity, inspiring everything from our gadgets to our social movements. More importantly, we'll talk about how to reclaim that "childlike" spark of imagination in our very adult lives—not as an escape, but as the ultimate tool for creative problem-solving and building a more magical future, starting today.
