I just stumbled upon Deal Allen’s brilliant annotated version of Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto for Growth.

I saw Bruce Mao speak once at the Cooper Union when he was pitching his book, Life Style. He was so overbearing as he pontificated about the glorious role of the designer as deliverer of truth (or some such nonsense, I forget). His speech was so great, everyone fell asleep. But hey, you could get the book with one of 5 different fabric colors/textures. Plus, he wore a jacket made out of one of them.
