In Now is Better , renowned graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister explores how our perception of the modern world differs from reality. Many people tend to believe that everything is getting worse, from culture and morality to the environment and social relations. However, Sagmeister, relying on data and research, proves that by many measures, humanity is living in the best possible times.

The author combines statistics, historical context, and his own philosophy to show how design, art, and technology have contributed to improving the quality of life. He not only analyzes numerical data, but also presents it in a visually appealing, graphic style, making the book not only informative but also aesthetically impressive.

The main ideas of the book:

  • Objective reality vs. subjective perception
    People often have a pessimistic view of modernity due to news and information bubbles, although general trends point to improvements in many aspects of life.

  • Design and visualization help change thinking
    Sagmeister uses the power of graphics to make complex ideas accessible and show positive change through visual metaphors.

  • Creativity as a means of understanding change
    The author explores how art, architecture, and design reflect and shape social progress.

Who is this book for?

  • Designers and creative people interested in the connection between visual art and society.

  • Those who want to see the world objectively and evaluate it through facts, not news headlines.

  • People who seek inspiration in creativity and new approaches to thinking.

"Better Now" is a book that forces you to rethink pessimistic views of the world and see the beauty and progress in modern life through the prism of design and art.
