" Not Here, Not Now successfully demonstrates the centrality of Dunne & Raby to contemporary design. By examining projects oscillating between reality and fiction, this must-read travelogue encourages bold thought for designers, scholars, artists, and beyond." --Alexandra Midal, Professor, University of Art and Design, HEAD-Genève (HES-SO); author of The Murder Factory and Design by Accident "In an age of crisis, design is expected to produce bold solutions, yet designers are trapped in systems that allow hardly any deviation from the norm. Dunne & Raby have dedicated themselves to expanding the design imaginary, and this book is a valuable toolbox of approaches that open up a world of many worlds." --Justin McGuirk, Director, Future Observatory "In a quest for the radical potential of a more expansive reality, Dunne and Raby invite designers to engage the world with a speculative what-if sensibility. Refusing the stifling foreclosure of the future into the shape of what is most statistically probable, the authors' impossible objects are alluring thought experiments of the not-yet-here, however vulnerable and uncertain that world might be." --Rania Ghosn, Associate Professor of Architecture and Urbanism, MIT; Founding Principal, DESIGN EARTH "What might it mean to design, not for the world as it is, but for the world as it should be? This visionary book surveys a range of 'impossible' designs, helping us to imagine how they might become possible, or even probable." --Steven Shaviro, Emeritus Professor of English, Wayne State University.
