Imagine: How Creativity Works is the third book by Jonah Lehrer. Published in 2012, the non-fiction book explores brain science, creative process, and the social aspects of creativity.[1] As of July 2012, the book has been recalled by its publisher due to factual inaccuracies.[2]
Fabrication of Bob Dylan quotes
In July of 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 stopped.[3]
Fabrication of Teller quotes
In an Aug. 10 article by Steve Myers[4] , quotes from magician Teller of the performance duo Penn and Teller were alleged to be fake when a fan saw a discrepancy in previous quotes from Teller from a 2009 Wired Magazine article also by Lehrer. Teller confirmed that the quotes from the 2009 Wired article[5] were accurate, while the ones from 'Imagine: How Creativity Works' were not.
