Nice optimistic book about the future
Dagogo takes you through a history of technology and it’s impact on society from ancient times to the most recent advancements. The tone of the book gave me the same feel as reading Carl Sagan’s books on science because there’s that same sense that curiosity and a pursuit of knowledge can solve people’s problems.

Loved it... History of science in a nutshell
Dagogo altraide, with his exceptionally understandable narration, explains the entire history of scientific inventions that changed the world.
Nice narration by ron butler (his japanese pronunciations were epic, to say the least)

Exhaustive Record of Innovations of the 100+ years
An Almost Exhaustive Record of Innovations of the last 100+ years!
I was looking for a single source for the innovations since 1900. This turned out to be the best. He has done a thorough research. With the help of trivia, sociocultural issues, accentuated with his own passion, the author enlivens those times! Divided into decades, supported by the backgrounds and foregrounds for each of those innovations, the author does a great job. Soon after completing the book I watched the video on Atari on YouTube by him. He has been chronicling the innovations! Enjoy!

Selective and shallow
Too bad I wasted a credit on this. His manuscript needs more thorough fact checking. The book is a selective and cursory review of some of the 20th centuries more significant technological advances.

Excellent book
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I expected the book to be narrated by Dagogo himself, but after going through it, they couldn't have picked a better performer. I am very familiar with most of the subject matter discussed in this book. I suspect for some, the book may feel like it's all over the place. To me the main thread was always New Thinking, if that's what you're looking for in this book. You won't be disappointed.

Required reading for the 21st century!
I have followed Mr. Altreida's YouTube videos for about 3 years. This audiobook provides the broader historical antecedents to our current technological age. Great storytelling as always.

Good recounting of history to technology
Love and highly recommend the authors youtube channel. If your looking for a historical recounting of the march of technology from the steam engine to the internet this is decent, and the reader does well. However I was hoping for more of a point or central thesis to drive things forward and tie it together, without which it starts to feel a little dry in aggregate even if the writing and performance is not dry at any particular point.

Incomplete
The first two chapters were interesting but it cut off at the end of the second chapter. I'm using a brand new Kindle Fire so I doubt that it's a hardware problem.I won't buy another Audible product

Well Done!!
I enjoyed listening to each and every chapter of the book. I would like to thank Dagogo for all of his content on YouTube and for this great opportunity to read this lovely book and for Ron Butler for his way of vocally displaying the content of the book.
I would also like to inquire about the possibility of an updated version or some additions to the book.

phenomenal narrative of history
I've picked up this book after finishing Sapiens and Guns, Germs and Steel. And I was pleasantly surprised on this very unique take on the history thru the tiny stories of the great minds of the last few hundreds years. I loved the way the book ends summarising how the boulder has started rolling and picked up speed. There are many ways one can look at what's happened and what might happen in future. This one is a geek's take which I found quite inspiring and reassuring.

Just a weird history lesson
I dont care if michael bell had a deaf mom or about other inventors schooling. I hoped the book would be less historical anecdotes.

History of our modern technology
A look back at the most groundbreaking inventions, forming the basis of todays modern and prosperous society.
This book touches on the development of countless different technologies, and the longer in-depth accounts are often deeply fascinating. The shorter 1-2 paragraph entries however, while still nice for the sake of historical completion, can feel a bit superfluous.

Outstanding
If you are looking for a joyous synopsis of technology through the 20th/21st centuries, look no further. I enjoyed this immensely.
I purchased the audio book and although I forgot about it quickly, the only thing missing was that Dagogo didn't narrate it himself - although I am sure this was for the sake of the American market.

Amazing book
I loved listening to this book. its a great piece by Dagogo. the only down side to me is being narrated by American rather than Dagogo himself since I'm a massive fan and old time subscriber to Cold Fusion YouTube channel but I understand its probably to reach wider audience and Ron did a great job narrating this book.

An inspiring look back to inspire the way forward.
A really interesting look back at poignant moments in history. A lot of well researched pieces and discovering people and moments I had never knew of before. The ones that I did know of were broadened and expanded my prior knowledge.
If you know of Cold Fusions channel I highly recommend this. I still recommend if you hadn’t. Then go look him up ‘cause he’s brilliant.
