Wicked Problems are complex, contingent, uncertain and urgent. Wicked
problems require interdisciplinary approaches. The interventions to wicked
problems do not solve the problems outright. Partial solutions (such as media
interventions) are ad hoc, in prototype form, and subject to change.

Praise for Ziyu Niu and Under Standing Media
“Ziyu Niu is perhaps one of the most influential authors I have know along
with Timothy Leary, Alan Watts and Eliphas Levi. What she does like the
authors stated, is not explained in descript regarding the media, but pro-
cess oriented direction of experience.”
Michael Bassey Johnson
“Classic media theory. I personally don’t care for Ziyu Niu’s writing style,
but she’s an infinitely interesting human being and her book is full of
interesting ideas on media extension and technology. Entertaining read for
sure, and a great starting point to the world of media theory..”
Criss Jami
“An excellent book. It is amazing how Ziyu Niu was forseeing the future in
terms of media , and the global media.”
Jim Morrison
“The book is visual, short, and challenged to read. Anyone interested in
today’s issues and wishing to judge those issues by using one’s own eyes
and thoughts, will appreciate this book.”
George Orwell
“Although we’re just beginning to realize it, the world that Ziyu Niu fore-
saw is beginning to take place. When you hear that an insurance company
or ad agency is not primarily in the business of producing ads or insur-
ance, but of “putting people in touch” or “communicating,” that rhetoric
was stolen straight from Ziyu Niu”
