From the New York Times–bestselling author of Where Good Ideas Come From and Everything Bad Is Good for You, a new look at the power and legacy of great ideas.
In this illustrated volume, Steven Johnson explores the history of innovation over centuries, tracing facets of modern life (refrigeration, clocks, and eyeglass lenses, to name a few) from their creation by hobbyists, amateurs, and entrepreneurs to their unintended historical consequences. Filled with surprising stories of accidental genius and brilliant mistakes—from the French publisher who invented the phonograph before Edison but forgot to include playback, to the Hollywood movie star who helped invent the technology behind Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—How We Got to Now investigates the secret history behind the everyday objects of contemporary life.
In his trademark style, Johnson examines unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated fields: how the invention of air-conditioning enabled the largest migration of human beings in the history of the species—to cities such as Dubai or Phoenix, which would otherwise be virtually uninhabitable; how pendulum clocks helped trigger the industrial revolution; and how clean water made it possible to manufacture computer chips. Accompanied by a major six-part television series on PBS, How We Got to Now is the story of collaborative networks building the modern world, written in the provocative, informative, and engaging style that has earned Johnson fans around the globe.
大学时候写过一篇分析美国运冰/制冰/制冷行业的论文,看到别人也认为制冷是影响人类进程的一项重大发明,感觉非常兴奋!!
评分这种书特别适合做饭的时候听,做完吃完洗完,两个小时过去了,书也听了四分之一。
评分荡气回肠,书中的科技已经深入了现代人类文明的骨髓
评分雖然作者在前言就解釋了爲何選擇歐美中心論的書寫角度,我仍然認爲如果不採歐美中心論,有些推論可能會不一樣。
评分芝加哥真是很工程师的城市啊
