Let's start off with what it is and what it isn't.
It is a brief, concise history - a chronology of sort - of modern technology from the industrial revolution, spanning over the information age to where present day research on quantum computing, machine learning that culminate with the author's speculation regarding the future of tech, science, its morality and impacts on our aspects of our daily lives.Central premise of the book is the allegory that we get to look farther by standing on the shoulders of the giants, that every once a while, there comes around a pioneer, a prime mover who produces something groundbreaking that's unprecedented for the time, how most of gadgets and tech of today are refinements, fine-tuning on their predecessors. Good thing is that the book does not go into very many tangents while explaining the origins, developments, less-known facts, nuances, clearing up misconceptions, so it is incredibly simple to follow. This makes it a fine addition to your repository of information. You can very easily refer back to any specific discovery, invention, gadget, innovator, when in doubt, when you need input from this book to support your debates.Now what it isn't. I lent it to somebody. He returned it saying it's simply a journey of evolution of tech. He found nothing remarkable in it. And that's what it is. It's not a sci-fi novel. It is nothing out of the ordinary. Just a factual account of progress of tech. The history of few is muddled with controversies, the author clears this up for us while opening our eyes to what was forgotten in time. The amount of inventions the author has managed to cram in, most of them are not known commonly, named among are scientists, common unlikely heros who contributed to making the present day what it is.If you are subscribed to the ColdFusion channel, now you can support the author by purchasing the book.

First book of it's kind.
I only have praise for this book because it has presented technology's impact on human society in a way that I never came across in any book or any documentary.However there are SOME NEGATIVE points as well.In the introduction page itself it wrongly presents Elon Musk as the founder of Tesla Motors which he is not and it leaves many technologies and many companies that will have a great impact on our future.After this I recommend reading "Abundance".

Intresting Read
The author goes through how the human civilisation shaped into the current modern world in a very intresting way.Reading this book felt more like reading a science fiction novel. Although we know what is written in this book is more or less the events that shaped the current world into what it is.

La narrativa te envuelve.
Un libro muy entretenido. La narrativa es muy envolvente y te sumerge en la historia con gran facilidad. Y te da el contexto de cómo mucho de los inventos en la historia, han Sido incrementales de creaciones anteriores, pero otros son totalmente disruptivos. Lo recomiendo mucho.
