Perhaps that's why one of the central mottos of Open space technology (OST) is "be prepared to be surprised." When OST is at its best, it's an incredibly appealing idea. The basic concept, which Harrison outlines in Opposite, left: AmericaSpeaks holds large-scale forums around the country where citizens can get together to discuss local and national issues.
