About this ebook
Right now, something in your pocket can talk to satellites and answer questions that would have stumped entire universities a century ago. This book is the story of how we got here.
From the first controlled fire to the wheel, from Gutenberg's printing press to ENIAC's room-sized vacuum tubes, from the first email to the age of generative AI — The Evolution of Technology traces the single unbroken thread connecting every breakthrough to the one before it.
Eleven chapters, a bonus timeline, and a collection of the strangest true stories in tech history (yes, the internet's first webcam really was pointed at a coffee pot).
Written for anyone curious about where our machines came from — and where they're headed next.
