Our next book for the History Bookclub Meetup will be How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World by Steven Johnson. We'll meet on December 7 at 12:30 PM.
From Amazon:
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—How We Got to Now investigates the secret history behind the everyday objects of contemporary life.
