ABOUT
THE
COVER
A CLASSIC, REINVENTED
The best innovations represent a renaissance. Timeless values and ideals are given
more power and capability by the latest technology, virtuosity, and insights. What best
represents innovation as renaissance is the superhuman.
The superhuman is an ideal as old as humanity itself: from the demigods of
mythology and legend to the comic book, video game, and movie superheroes of today.
The enigmatic disguise of royal masquerades and the face paint of warriors becomes
the superhero mask. The tunic of spartan warriors and the cloak of crusading knights
becomes the superhero cape. The strongman leotards of circus musclemen and the
cavalier hosen of renaissance swordsmen becomes the superhero tights. And the
prescient powers of demigods become all the personal computing, online knowledge,
and global communications available in a mobile phone.
As we explore what innovation means today in the 21st century, we remain cognizant
that these are but a renaissance of the eternal superhuman.
