Will we lose our imagination in the age of artificial intelligence?

We are living through the most rapid transformation in human history. Artificial Intelligence is redefining intelligence, creativity, and even the boundaries of what it means to be human. But as machines grow smarter, humanity faces a deeper challenge-one that cannot be solved by algorithms or data.

In Raising Dreamers, author, researcher, and futurist Wylde Scott offers a bold and urgent thesis: Our survival as a species depends not on our intelligence, but on our imagination.

Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, education theory, and decades of creative research, Scott explores the imagination as both a biological function and a societal force-one capable of shaping the future of innovation, purpose, and human connection. Through clear frameworks and compelling storytelling, he reveals how imagination can be intentionally cultivated in children and adults alike to build resilience, adaptability, and meaning in an increasingly automated world.

Learn how to:

• Cultivate imagination to enhance creativity, resilience, and purpose
• Shift education from memorization to imagination to helping children thrive in a future where curiosity and creativity define success
• Use the power of play, creativity, and empathy to restore meaning and resilience in the digital era
• Discover purpose and the power of human connection to preserve the very essence of the human experience for generations to come

Raising Dreamers redefines how we think about learning, intelligence, and the future of humanity. It is a manifesto for parents, educators, and leaders who believe that technology should serve-not replace-the boundless potential of the human mind.

To imagine is to be human. To protect imagination is to protect our future.
