The imprint
Imagination Applied Press
Three lines of work, one standard: say what is actually known, show where it came from, and make the useful part easy to act on.
The Press publishes under Imagination Applied. It exists because the practice keeps producing things worth writing down—analysis that ought to be checkable, and methods that ought to be usable by someone who was never in the room.
Line one
Open Research Series
Secondary analysis published with its code, its denominators, its robustness checks and its file checksums. Limitations are stated in the body of the work, not a footnote, and the strongest counterargument we can build against our own result is published alongside it.
Published
The Developers Using AI Without Trusting It
A secondary analysis of 26,102 current AI-tool users finds favorable stance toward AI carries substantially more information about daily use than trust in output accuracy.

The book series
13 titles across three series. Practical books for people doing the thing, not reading about it.
The Forgotten Playbook Library
Overlooked public-domain ideas, rebuilt for modern families, educators, facilitators and communities.
6 titlesAnyone running a room: parents, teachers, librarians, camp and group leaders.
The Past Tests You
First answer the archive. Then judge the archive.
4 titlesReaders who want history to be playable rather than recited — and are willing to be graded by it.
Stories That Rehearsed Tomorrow
Annotated documentary editions of the moments when people imagined a technology before they had it.
3 titlesReaders of technology history — and the closest of the four series to the practice, since the argument is that we rehearse the future before we build it.
Line three
Artistic Intelligence: A Manifesto
Artistic Intelligence is what we use when the answer is not waiting to be found—it has to be made.
Josh's first book—a theater director's way of seeing, applied to work and to AI. Not a method book; the practice is a separate project.
The standard
Every claim traceable to a source. Every number checkable. Where the evidence does not support a stronger statement, the weaker one is printed instead—and where an earlier version got something wrong, the correction is published rather than quietly folded in.
