520    "Apes can do a lot of things that we can, too: they can 
       use tools, tell bigger from smaller, and even say hello. 
       But one thing they can't do is say "see you tomorrow." 
       That's not just because they don't speak English, but 
       because they are unable to imagine reencountering another 
       ape in the future. Humans, of course, can. As Thomas 
       Suddendorf, Jon Redshaw, and Adam Bulley reveal, that 
       represents a truly earth-shattering capacity. In The 
       Invention of Tomorrow, the three cognitive scientists 
       argue that humanity's unique capacity for foresight is the
       key to our global dominance. Our minds work like time 
       machines, they explain, allowing us to relive past events 
       in order to predict possible futures. Drawing on cutting-
       edge research from the last decade - including much of the
       authors' own work - Suddendorf, Redshaw, and Bulley break 
       down the science of foresight, showing us how this 
       fundamental tool evolved and what makes it unique among 
       animal minds. Foresight powers what are essentially 
       private mental time machines that power our species' 
       capacity for innovation, communication, and moral 
       responsibility. Ultimately, the authors offer us a new 
       vision of human progress, one that foregrounds our 
       capacity to think ahead. Even though we sometimes get it 
       wrong, they argue, human beings are better able to handle 
       future dangers than any creature that has ever existed. 
       The Invention of Tomorrow is a paradigm-shifting 
       exploration of one of humanity's greatest powers, showing 
       how an apparently banal trait has been the key to human 
       ingenuity and culture."--|cProvided by publisher.
