How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World

 by Steven Johnson (read by George Newbern) c. 2014




The Hummingbird Effect: Glass, Cold, Sound, Clean, Time Light

Definitely written for the layman, Johnson tells us why and how we got from hunter-gathers living off the land to the age of the internet, space exploration and population explosion -- and many of the technological steps between. He delves into 6 areas of innovation and shows us how we got to where we are to day.

Three and a half stars: Informative without being preachy, political, overly technical or verbose.
