Imagine: How Creativity Works is the third non-fiction book by Jonah Lehrer, published in 2012. It explores brain science, and creativity and its social aspects.[1] By July 2012, the book had been recalled by its publisher due to factual inaccuracies.[2]
Fabrication of quotations
In July 2012, Lehrer acknowledged that he fabricated some quotes attributed to Bob Dylan.[3] Sale of the electronic book as well as physical shipment of the book has been halted.[3]
In an article on August 10, Steve Myers alleged that quotes from magician Teller, of the performance duo Penn and Teller, were fake, after a fan saw a discrepancy in previous quotes from Teller from an article in 2009 in Wired magazine, also by Lehrer.[4] Teller confirmed that the quotes from the Wired article in 2009[5] were accurate, while the ones from Imagine: How Creativity Works were not.
