Will we lose our imagination in the age of artificial intelligence?
We are living through the most rapid transformation in human history. Artificial Intelligence is redefining intelligence, creativity, and even the boundaries of what it means to be human. But as machines grow smarter, humanity faces a deeper challenge—one that cannot be solved by algorithms or data.
In Raising Dreamers, author, researcher, and futurist Wylde Scott offers a bold and urgent thesis: Our survival as a species depends not on our intelligence, but on our imagination.
Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, education theory, and decades of creative research, Scott explores the imagination as both a biological function and a societal force—one capable of shaping the future of innovation, purpose, and human connection. Through clear frameworks and compelling storytelling, he reveals how imagination can be intentionally cultivated in children and adults alike to build resilience, adaptability, and meaning in an increasingly automated world.
Learn how to:
- Cultivate imagination to enhance creativity, resilience, and purpose
- Shift education from memorization to imagination to helping children thrive in a future where curiosity and creativity define success
- Use the power of play, creativity, and empathy to restore meaning and resilience in the digital era
- Discover purpose and the power of human connection to preserve the very essence of the human experience for generations to come
Raising Dreamers redefines how we think about learning, intelligence, and the future of humanity. It is a manifesto for parents, educators, and leaders who believe that technology should serve—not replace—the boundless potential of the human mind.
To imagine is to be human. To protect imagination is to protect our future.

In an era when artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every aspect of life at breathtaking speed, Wylde Scott pauses the frenzy with a deeply human question: What happens if we allow our imagination to fade in the shadow of ever-smarter machines?
Raising Dreamers: Why Imagination is the Key to Preserving Humanity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence is not just another optimistic take on creativity—it’s a thoughtful, research-backed, and profoundly moving call to action. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, education theory, and years of studying how humans create meaning, Scott builds a compelling case: our future as a species doesn’t hinge on competing with AI in raw intelligence, but on fiercely protecting and nurturing the one thing machines can’t truly replicate—our boundless capacity to imagine.
What sets this book apart is its warmth and urgency without falling into fearmongering. Scott weaves clear, practical frameworks with beautiful storytelling that reminds us imagination is both a biological gift and a societal superpower. He shows parents, educators, and anyone who cares about the next generation how to intentionally cultivate wonder, play, curiosity, and empathy in children (and in ourselves) so we can face an automated world with resilience, purpose, and deep human connection.
The central question he leaves ringing in your mind is impossible to ignore:
What are we truly passing down to our children?
A world of efficient answers and memorized facts… or the courage to ask wild, beautiful questions that no algorithm could ever dream up?
This isn’t fluffy inspiration—it’s a sensitive, well-informed manifesto that feels exactly right for 2026. If you’re raising kids, teaching them, leading teams, or simply wondering what makes us irreplaceably human in the age of AI, Raising Dreamers is essential reading. It left me hopeful, reflective, and ready to protect imagination like the precious resource it truly is.
“To imagine is to be human. To protect imagination is to protect our future.”
Scott says it perfectly—and this book lives up to every word.

I really enjoyed reading Raising Dreamers because it made me think in a new way. The book talks about imagination and why it is important in a world full of artificial intelligence. The author explains how creativity helps us stay human, kind, and curious. While reading, I remembered my childhood, when I spent hours drawing and making up stories. I felt inspired to do that again. One night, I even wrote ideas in a notebook after finishing a chapter. The book is easy to read and full of thoughtful examples. It does not feel too technical, which I liked. It feels more like a calm conversation. This book is great for parents, teachers, or anyone who wants to protect creativity in the future.

Raising Dreamers is a vital book for all parents and teachers to read in today’s age of technology and AI. In it the author stresses how important it is to nurture creativity and the world of imagination. I like the fact that Wylde Scott acknowledges that AI is here to stay in the times that we live in. However, the author points out that our human minds and the ability to dream of bigger and better things than what we currently know, is essentially what will keep the world going. The writing style is clear and the narrative is inspiring. This book is an essential guide for anyone bringing up the next generation.

Raising Dreamers is a thoughtful and timely book that invites us to rethink the role of imagination in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence. With a clear and accessible approach, Wylde Scott argues that true human strength lies not only in intelligence, but in the ability to imagine, create, and connect. Through examples backed by science and education, the author conveys an inspiring message: imagination can and should be consciously cultivated. The book is especially valuable for an uncertain future without losing what is essentially human. It is a motivating read that leaves the reader with a sense of urgency, hope, and responsibility for the future.

Raising Dreamers by Wylde Scott is a really interesting book. The imagination is becoming more important, not less. We usually think kids need to learn more technology to be ready for the future, but this book shows the opposite. It made me realize that imagination is something we can easily lose if we are not careful. I started thinking about how often children are busy with screens and how little time they have to just be bored and create their own ideas.
On the same hand, imagination connects with emotions and empathy. It’s not only about being creative, but about understanding others and finding meaning. That made the message feel deeper and more real, especially in a future where machines can do so much for us.
