Cand am mers in Slovenia, la finala concursului de inovatie Challenge:Future, am avut ocazia de a-l cunoaste pe unul dintre cei mai mari futuristi contemporani, Joel Barker.

L-am intrebat de unde isi ia el informatia si cum sta up-to-date cu toate inovatiile din lume

si … cum ajunge cineva futurist?

Eram in ziua aia in al noualea cer :D Chiar daca nu am castigat the Grand Prize la Challenge:Future.

Ca follow-up, dl. Barker ne-a trimis o lista cu carti si reviste “for starting to think like a futurist”:
