Curious by Design: Adventures in Engineering and Creativity

By Steve Alcorn

Curious by Design describes a journey of invention, imagination, and the occasional malfunctioning animatronic. From an untethered childhood to designing the world's most complex theme park attractions, Steve Alcorn has spent a lifetime exploring the crossroads of art and engineering. Along the way, he's built companies, created rides, composed music, coded operating systems, mentored thousands of writers--and still found time to sculpt a few nudes. Spanning decades of creative adventure, this is the story of one man's relentless curiosity: how things work, how stories are told, and how a life can be built one experiment at a time. Told with warmth, wit, and a clear-eyed love of learning, Curious by Design is for anyone who's ever straddled the worlds of science and art--or wondered if they really had to choose. Whether you're a theme park fan, an aspiring author, or just someone with a lifelong case of "how does that work?", this book offers insight, inspiration, and a few laugh-out-loud detours.
