“It's a 350-plus-page wonder cabinet crammed with every kind of project, product, initiative, and environment imaginable. You can read it not only as a timeline of Béhar and his two decades with Fuseproject, but of 21st-century design in general, with its preoccupations laid out page by page, from tech to lifestyle to sustainability. The book is unusually conversational (the text is, in fact, a dialogue-like collaboration with the journalist Adam Fisher), an amiable and frank journey into the twists and turns of the design process.”

— Mark Rozzo Vanity Fair

“A comprehensive retrospective of [Béhar's] 20-year career… In many ways, this book can be understood as an exploration of what constitutes design in contemporary culture.”
