What is the world's most advanced running shoe? What is the world's most advanced country, car and camera? What sort of wit lies beneath our greatest intellectual achievements? How can we [as individuals] benefit from thinking smart and creatively, and where do we start? What is the nature not only of the evolution of things, but adaptation as a functional trait? What is the essence of intellectual fitness?
When we examine our most innovative ideas as is done in this narrative, we find something humbling behind the glittering tech. We find the most exciting project of all is us, and conquering our symbolic Everest is how we get to become our most advanced, our most authentic selves. How do we recognize and strengthen our mental muscles? It starts, the narrative suggests, by imagining there is no spoon, that there is no us. There is just the germ of an idea and a curious fire burning to do something with it.
WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED EVERYTHING is not your average gadget guide; it’s not just about shining machines at the cutting edge of technology and human inventiveness. It's not merely about being at the top of the list, but the journey and the process behind these innovations and innovators. It’s about those magical moments that spark revolutionary changes. This narrative interrogates the ideas that awaken us and the struggle to bring them to life. It’s about asking simple questions and remaining open to unexpected paths.
It begins with freelance photojournalist and triathlete, Nick van der Leek, asking a simple question: what is the world's most advanced running shoe? At the time, he had no inkling he was about to embark on not just the search for one specific answer to one specific question, but a search that would lead to meeting with world famous scientists culminating in a series of popular magazine articles.
In WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED EVERYTHING you’ll learn about cutting-edge technology from bicycles to submarines. In the shadow of those innovations lies the true heart of this story. This narrative is equally about what it means to be human, what it means to grow into the best versions of ourselves, and our ongoing journey of adaptation along the cutting-edge of time itself.
