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.

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。

很好的历史书，比评价历史人物有意思多了。

作者的文笔宛如笛声，悠扬而富有张力，带着穿越时空的镜头感。 讲述时间的故事，它说那是源自伽利略对圣坛吊灯的记忆。16世纪前日子很慢，那时候没有15分钟的概念，十五分钟是挤一次牛奶那么长的时间。钟摆的嘀嗒声，不似蒸汽机般轰鸣，却以它独特的方式安静优雅地推动了工业革命。 任何事情放到足够长的时间里，都渺小到让人对时间的广博和宇宙的宏大心怀敬意。时间治愈一切。
