Max Wahlter, a journalist specializing in science and technology, decides to leave his failing career to make money from sustainable technology. He comes across an innovation technique called Imagestreaming that unlocks the innovative power of the mind to make almost anyone a Leonardo daVinci,. Max proceeds to create a vision of the sustainable society, publishing the results on his blog.
The novel follows his blog posts from first steps into the world of sustainability. Max takes us on an inner and outer journey from the annoyingly obvious though the impossibly simple via the inevitable awkward decisions to a deeper understanding of what we all need to do to secure this Earth for coming generations.
You get the opportunity to learnImagestreaming with Max, and to explore what sustainability might actually look like. You will also experience, through his eyes, how to overcome the barriers that most people see as stopping us living sustainably.
