The last in Tony Fry’s celebrated trilogy of books continues his radical rethinking of design. Becoming Human by Design’s provocative argument presents a revised reading of human ‘evolution’ centred on ontological design.

Examining the relation of design to the nature of the human species – where the species came from, how it was created, what it became and its likely future – Fry asserts that current biological and social models of evolution are an insufficient explanation of how ‘we humans’ became what we are.
