IN 1927, FORTUNATO Depero published a collection of his work that would become one of the most revered books in the canon of design. The Italian artist and designer, who is also famed for his Campari bottle design, called his monograph Depero Futurista—but most people know it as the Bolted Book, on account of the two large aluminum bolts with which Depero bound its contents: 240 self-promotional pages of typography, architecture, and product designs.
Now one of the world’s most iconic design books is being reprinted. Find out more here.

Several companies are furiously at work creating a new field–let’s call it the emotion economy– focused on sensing and analyzing consumers’ mental states. In January, Apple bought a San Diego startup called Emotient, which uses facial-tracking technology to identify people’s feelings. A few months earlier, the consumer-research giant Nielsen bought Boston-based Innerscope, which combines facial-cue recognition with Lightwave-style wearables data.
