(Pre)Launch HN: Unthinkable – A visual travel guide to the edge of human thought
unthinkable.netThis one's for you, HN.
I'm writing a book about the 'edge of the thinkable', how it developed over the years, centuries and millenia, and I'm sure you'll be interested in this. (Whenever I browse through HN, I think 'oh, I didn't think THAT was possible..'.
So, more soon, but I'd love it if you'd sign up for that (very, very occassional) status update newsletter. I'm sure it will include beta versions of the book, too!
Signups don't make good HN posts and 'Launch HN' is a YC-company thing but you should post a Show HN https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html when you have a sample chapter maybe?
Looks interesting. Do you have a (draft) table of contents?
Still pushing around things – what really helped me was to see it like a "travel guide". There are different "sights" at the (moving) edge of the possible/thinkable, and I wanted it to be somehow more than just a "trip through time".
Cool - I'll sign up and look forward to see what comes up.
A long time ago I shopped around a non-fiction book roughly titled "The Future of the The Future of Work" that looked at what people talked about / wrote about / researched as "The Future of Work" and how that could help us shape our thinkinkg of what the future of work would actually look like. Very niche and naval gaze-y, but really entertaining.
Good luck with the writing!
Thank you, also for the note regarding "the future of the future of work" - I didn't know it!
