How We Got to Now

I recently finished “The Wizard and The Prophet” by Charles Mann, this book in some ways reminded me of that in terms of the width and breadth of topics that Johnson is able to cover and draw connections too much like Mann. Johnson does a great job of showing the manifold and far-reaching effects of one technology or discovery. Packed with facts and interesting anecdotes my only complaint was the length; this book could have been 500+ pages longer and it would have held my interest.
