"[Brand's] book is the first I know to explicitly explore what long-term thinking really is, or could be. He takes it as a concept and pulls it apart to examine it. That’s a real intellectual shift in the history of long-term thinking.... He’s an amazing, pithy prose stylist."      source
The most influential book on me.      source
