Im bawling rn, this book is beautiful and hopeful and heartbreaking at the same time. It's impossible not to fall in love with Zorrie.

Reading some parts and listening others was probably not the greatest choice honestly, but I still very much liked it. I love how the dynamic between Ford and Arthur develops, and Marvin cracks me up every time. Its as demented as the first book, so we're good.
Read if you're into: people who shrug at any inconvenience, demented sense of humor, time travel, improbabilities, people who tolerate each other sticking together cause why not? And when I say people I mean aliens mostly

Overcrowded: Designing Meaningful Products in a World Awash with Ideas by Roberto Verganti
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
Sometimes redundant, but very interesting as it is in stark contrast to what we learn in university about design, research and innovation.
Also, only an italian would try to explain innovation through a metaphor about love.
Read if you are looking for: a new point of view on innovation, design and research, a clearly stated guide to follow and information being repeated constantly (just in case you missed it the past 10 times...)
