What if everything we’ve built— from the internet to COVID-19 vaccines— is just the beginning of what we can achieve by creating together? This exploration of co-creation uncovers how collective intelligence thrives when collaboration, justice, and innovation intersect. Challenging the myth of the solitary genius, it reveals the power of working together in media, technology, and social movements. Experts from diverse fields show that real progress only happens when we embrace equity and collective effort— paving the way for a more inclusive, innovative future.
