Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-19 00:00:00 Randy Wayne This was a very interesting way to look at the history of technology, and about the inventions themselves. It was a series of short anecdotes from published authors to political figureheads and even scientists. Each short snippet was a popular look into the different technologies of the era. The book is split in a chronological way and flows consistently. Definitely doesn't make it feel like you are reading about history, while you are in fact learning as you go.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-29 00:00:00 Michael Pottinger An expansive collection of excerpted essays and quotations (from the U.S. and Western Europe) about the roles and impacts of technologies as varied as the car, airplane, computer and birth control. With commentors ranging from Henry Ford to Rachel Carson and beyond, one gets a real sense of the patterns of thought around technology, and the tendencies to either romanticize or demonize every new change. While thought provoking and frequently funny, there is something sobering in tracing the idea that any new technology might be what brings lasting peace to the world, whether it was the airplane in the early 20-Century, or the Internet.
