690: Jane McGonigal | How to See the Future and Be Ready for Anything

Jane McGonigal (@avantgame) is a futurist who specializes in designing games that challenge players to tackle real-world problems, and is the bestselling author of Reality is Broken and SuperBetter. Her latest book is Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything ? Even Things That Seem Impossible Today.

What We Discuss with Jane McGonigal:
  • Why it is more important to be imaginative and insightful than to be 100 percent right when trying to predict what the future has in store for us.

  • And much more...
