For over 10,000 years, humans have been busy altering our environment, evolving from communities of hunter-gatherers to the independent, metropolitan sophisticates that we see ourselves as today. By the early 21st century, humans had become a majority urban species for the first time. What exactly made that possible, and how did the essential infrastructure of modern lifethe innovations that we barely even notice, but without which our world would fall aparthappen?With his characteristic wit and boundless curiosity, Jonn Elledge invites us to join him on a fascinating and often surprising tour of 35 of the ideas and technologies that made modernity possible.
