It brings together 13 academics from the UK, Europe, Australia, China, and North America and from disciplines including literature, philosophy, history and cultural studies, to examine Lee’s writing (both creative and critical) on intelligence and its implications for the future. Drawing inspiration from Lee’s \u003cem\u003eProteus, or the Future of Intelligence\u003c\/em\u003e (1925), chapter authors examine Lee’s harnessing of intelligence as both concept and process in areas as diverse as material culture, the built environment, gender, ethics and values, ecology, non-violent pacifism, and science. In doing so, they showcase the astonishing prescience and relevance of much of Lee’s writing for us in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_xelementtoproof\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSally Blackburn-Daniels\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Impact Acceleration Fellow at Teesside University, UK.
