Alex NovaAlex Nova is a systems theorist, public educator, and futurist dedicated to translating complexity into clarity. As the author of The Shape of What's Coming, Nova guides readers through one of the most profound transformations in civilization's histoy, the rise of quantum and topological technologies, and their impact on how we think, relate, and build. With academic roots in epistemology, complex systems, and human-centred design, Mr. Nova is known for bridging the technical and the existential. Before turning to writing full-time, they advised civic labs, taught interdisciplinary design, and worked at the seams of ethics, intelligence, and infrastructure. Always a translator between worlds, Nova's passion is not just to inform, but to equip. The Shape of What's Coming emerged from a simple but powerful conviction: that the public must not be left behind in a future being shaped without them. Across five immersive sections, Nova invites readers to grasp the tools, metaphors, and movements reshaping civilization, not with fear, but with wonder, literacy, and agency. Mr. Nova lives between cities and silence, often off-grid and always online. He believes the most important revolutions begin in language, and that the future is not something we inherit, but something we author. This is Mr. Nova's first major nonfiction work for a global audience. Read More Read Less
