Great book, but some facts shoud have been better checked.
"Robert Noyce left Intel in the late ’70s. Today, Noyce is eighty-nine years old and thoroughly enjoys fishing." In fact, very unfortunately, Robert Noyce died in 1990 at the age of 62.
Unbiased review
Was a huge fan of the YouTube channel but I read books with an unbiased and low expectations no matter who wrote it. When I read it, it just made me appreciate my life so much afterwards, so much so that I cried in joyfullness. The book covers on how pretty much all famous inventors and some that aren't well known. This book showed that we are much more capable than what we think we are capable of.
Wonderful overview of technological development and trends
I discovered Dagogo's YouTube channel, Cold Fusion, about a year and a half ago. I appreciated the way he weaved story-telling with images and video. I was delighted to find out he would be offering a book about the history of technology. Just like his videos, his book is perceptive, engaging, original, and easy to follow. The book is a unique overview of the fascinating technological world in which we have come to live. Highly recommended for anyone interested in connecting the dots in regards to technological development and trends.
Lots of knowledge to be had in this book
Took me 2.5 days to read this book and in those 2.5 days, i learned so much about the history of technology particularly computers, of which i knew nothing about. Even though there are a few typos in the book, i would not have considered giving this book anything less than 5 stars.
Great Book
I have been watching Cold Fusion videos on YouTube for years. Dagogo is a gem. This book is great. He presents a ton of technology and some of the stories behind. I also snagged the audio book as well, I just wish he would have the author would have read it aloud as his voice is pretty rad!
It was very enjoyable!
Short and concise, if I can give it 4.5 stars I would. Since that's not an option I'll give a 5. Mainly because of some minor things like grammar and disagreement about Ripple, ripple is not a blockchain, perhaps my own opinion.
Fantastic read on technology and the world we live in!
I am loving this book Dagogo! It's a great read, just like his YT channel his writing is concise and easy to follow. He makes complex technological marvels easy to grasp for the average reader. Makes you feel good about yourself and where we are going :)
Wonderful, insightful and concise
I’m a massive fan of Cold Fusion and was looking forward to when I could get my hands on this book. I’m delighted and thoroughly enjoyed one of my favorite subjects through the lens of historical context. There are some minor details that I think might have been oversimplified but overall any fan of ColdFusion’s YouTube Channel will enjoy this read. Enjoy!
A chronology of tech's advancement
This book was a good read. It is implicit from reading it, that the rate of technologically change is increasing. And I defiantly learned somethings. Reading it made me feel excited about the future.
what a great book
I am 100% happy with the book and have told my friends and family (who are subscribed to ColdFustion) that its a must read blew me away with how fast technology advances. and Nikola Tesla was the true MVP.
