Raising Dreamers

Why Imagination Is the Key to Preserving Humanity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

By Wylde Scott Ethos Collective
2025 Foreword INDIES Award — Education

If AI can out-think us, out-calculate us, and out-work us, what's left that only humans can do? Wylde Scott's answer is imagination — and this book is a warm, practical case for making it the centerpiece of how we raise the next generation. Written for parents and educators who sense that "keep up with the curriculum" isn't the same as "prepare for the future," Raising Dreamers reframes creativity not as a nice extra, but as the skill that will matter most.

  • A clear, hopeful framework for raising kids who can think for themselves in an automated world — no tech-fear, no doom-scrolling anxiety.
  • Practical, everyday ways to protect curiosity and imaginative play at home and in the classroom.
  • A future-of-work lens for educators and school leaders navigating what "readiness" really means now.
  • An optimistic, evidence-informed voice — pro-human and pro-innovation, never anti-technology.
