Enchanted Objects by David Rose
In the tradition of Who Owns the Future, an MIT Media Lab scientist imagines how everyday objects can intuit our needs, improve our lives, and form an ethereal interconnection of gadgets and human desires that.will pervade our lives in the very near future (The Wall Street Journal). We are now standing at the precipice of the next transformative development, a world in which technology becomes more human. Soon, connected technology will be embedded in hundreds of everyday objects we already use: our cars, wallets, watches, umbrellas, even our trash cans. These objects will respond to our needs, come to know us, and even learn to think ahead on our behalf. David Rose calls these devices--which are just beginning to creep into the marketplace--Enchanted Objects. In Rose's vision of the future, technology atomizes, combining itself with the objects that make up the very fabric of daily living. Such innovations will be woven into the background of our environment, enhancing human relationships, channeling desires for omniscience, long life, and creative expression. The enchanted objects of fairy tales and science fiction will enter real life. Groundbreaking, timely, and provocative, Enchanted Objects is a delightful (The New York Times) blueprint for a better future, where efficient solutions come hand in hand with technology that delights our senses. It is essential reading for designers, technologists, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone who wishes to take a glimpse into the future.
Chef David Rose was raised with a diverse and curious palate. Born in New Jersey to two chef parents, his culinary interest led him to enroll in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary College (Tucker, GA), where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. Living in Atlanta for close to twenty years, Chef Rose finds inspiration in his surroundings and identifies as a southern chef. He creatively reinterprets classic southern fare by incorporating the refinement of his French culinary training, along with his signature bold flavors, and the occasional flair from his family's Jamaican recipes. David is a Food Network/TV personality, Omaha Steaks Executive Chef/Spokesperson, and serves as a national brand ambassador for Nissan USA and Big Green Egg; hosting the first virtual Big Green Egg: EGGtoberfest in 2020. He appeared as a finalist on Food Network Star (Season 13), cooking head to head with Bobby Flay and fielding praise from Giada de Laurentiis. Rose regularly appears on Food Network, Good Morning America, the Today Show, Home & Family, and various national morning shows. As a special events chef & culinary content creator, Chef Rose works with many high profile brands and professional clientele. Outside of the kitchen, David continues to draw culinary inspiration from his frequent international travels. In the words of Chef David: Food is life.... It not only feeds the body, but it nourishes the soul. To know me is to taste my cooking
