Called a "modern renaissance man" and "provocative speaker" by his colleagues, Mihai Nadin's education and career combine the philosophy, the arts, engineering, computer science, and cognition (more about his career and education under www.nadin.name). Nadin believes in making available knowledge for the future rather than exclusively glorifying past achievements for their own sake. For him, history is the story of the future. He has lectured and written extensively on the mind, anticipation and dynamic systems, visualization, ubiquitous computing, and the various aspects of human-computer and human-technology interaction. In his book, Mind-Anticipation and Chaos, he introduced original ideas in the fields of cognition and education. His book The Civilization of Illiteracy --the 18th from among 23 so far-- addresses the causes making the digital revolution possible and necessary, and suggests means and methods for a new type of education, a new economic and political focus corresponding to multimedia interaction in a global, networked society. In 1994, he established the first Computational Design program in the world at the University of Wuppertal (www.code.uni-wuppertal.de). Recently, he taught in the Computer Science Department at the University of Bremen, while evaluating the state-wide Interactive Multimedia Media program. For the past few years, Nadin's research in anticipation (www.anticipation.info) has attracted the interest of business and manufacturing. His latest book, Anticipation-The end is where we start from introduces the subject to a vast readership.
