Raising Dreamers: Why Imagination is the Key to Preserving Humanity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
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.

The Parent’s Guide to Exam Stress: Practical, positive ways to support and motivate your child (Year 7 to GCSEs, A levels & more)
‘Written beautifully and, at its heart, very wise’ – Sam Wallace, the Daily Telegraph
The ultimate guide to understanding why so many children experience problematic levels of stress at school today, and what we – as parents – can do to support them at home.
Katharine Radice draws on her training in child and adolescent development and 20+ years teaching in the classroom to provide you with practical advice, valuable insights and effective strategies to support your child through exams and assessments from KS3 to A level.
The teenage years are a swirl of trying to find an identity surrounded by other people’s expectations, so it’s no wonder pupils are feeling the pressure. It’s well known that teenage anxiety seems to be on the rise and it’s visibly present in classrooms today, especially during exams and assessments.
As parents, the challenge is this: is the pressure on your child healthy or not? And if it’s not healthy, what can we do about it?
The Parent’s Guide to Exam Stress includes voices of students, teachers and mental health professionals, all giving their take on what the exam experience can be like for teenagers today. You will learn how to open up the difficult conversations, how to understand where your child is coming from, and how to help pave the way for your child to feel motivated, prepared and ready for their exams.
