This book presents for the first time in English an array of essays on design by the seminal media critic and philosopher Vileacute;m Flusser. It puts forward the view that our future depends on design. In a series of insightful essays on such ordinary things as wheels; carpets; pots; umbrellas and tents; Flusser emphasizes the interrelationships between art and science; theology and technology; and archaeology and architecture. Just as formal creativity has produced both weapons of destruction and great works of art; Flusser believed that the shape of things (and the designs behind them) represents both a threat and an opportunity for designers of the future.
