The series of photographs illustrates the ability of speed to compress time and space. The body moves at the same speed as the mode of transportation, while one’s thoughts are already somewhere else. The photos are about how quickly you can exist, at least mentally, somewhere else. They portray a feeling of simultaneousness, that everything is happening now. An exciting cutting edge book.

What is the real design assignment? Is it the sports equipment - or the game itself? Is it the product or the ritual and social relations behind its use? These are the questions that the Canadian designer Alexander Manu addresses in this book: What is the “big idea” for the design of new products in a world where far too many violate the real purpose of what they are doing, because they never really got it?
