This brilliant and provocative (Walter Isaacson) guide shares nine principles to adapt and
survive the technological changes shaping our future from the director of the MIT Media Lab and

the public sphere to our most private moments. The people who succeed will be the ones who
learn to think differently. In WHIPLASH Joi Ito and Jeff Howe distill that logic into nine
organizing principles for navigating and surviving this tumultuous period: Emergence over
