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.

今年看過最有意思的書啦，玻璃，製冷，聲音，清潔，時間，光，這些現在看起來稀鬆平常，已經習以為常的日常存在竟然是引起一係列連鎖反應的導火綫，真的很厲害瞭。原來愛迪生齣名並不是發明瞭燈泡，而是因為他的商業頭腦，用人比較厲害呀。
评分芝加哥真是很工程師的城市啊
评分這種書特彆適閤做飯的時候聽，做完吃完洗完，兩個小時過去瞭，書也聽瞭四分之一。
评分科普類讀物，把各種發明串在一起講，相當有趣。不過標題的意思不叫6個發明，應該是6大類發明。
