There are many things that can create chaos in this world including explosive supercars and chaos-inducing publicity stunts. In turmoil-filled moments, we look for ways to calm ourselves down and bring our lives back to normalcy - one of which includes reading 'Exploiting Chaos.'
Implications - There is no doubt that we are living in a world of chaos. As this Top List shows, designers and artists love capturing it in their work. But while some consumers and businesses shy away from chaos, others embrace it, using economic and marketplace turmoil and uncertainty as a way to reinvent, recreate and ultimately move ahead of those whose first instincts were to flee or remain stagnant.
