Those who can tell or write stories will thrive, according to Pink. With all the world's facts and figures a click away at virtually no cost, the storyteller's ability to provide "context enriched by emotion" is what will be prized. Success in the "Conceptual Age" will mean understanding the connections between diverse disciplines — what the author refers to as "symphony ."
One such author who does this really well is Neal Stephenson in his Baroque cycle (esp. part 1).. But you have to appreciate that sort of thing.
