One of the best things about tossing out an idea is the fervent hope that someone really smart (much smarter than me) is reading them if only for casual fun. And maybe that will provoke a much more detailed and well-formed idea on their part, no matter how silly my idea is. That is one of the greatest joys in brainstorming-the ability to provoke extremely intelligent people to come up with revolutionary thoughts and ideas. The beauty of this process is that your ideas don’t necessarily have to have any detailed merit-just the germ of an idea that encourages others to come up with better ones. I have kept this book short so that it’s easy to get the gist of the ideas fairly quickly. A vast majority of people have good imaginations and can extrapolate from core ideas very quickly. I wanted to put together something that could easily be read in an airplane or on a train commuting somewhere.
I hope what happens is that people read this book and it provides a lot of fodder for young minds. I hope they sit around a bar have a few beers and have raucous discussions about the ideas I presented. Perhaps they will all be ridiculed. Or perhaps it will spark some follow up ideas that are really great.

Read, enjoy and discuss. I hope you have as much fun reading this as I had writing it.
