Review
A big book full of ideas (...) It's nice to know that someone can still produce a traditional non-fiction book of substance. --Science Base

With chapters on Computers, Entertainment, Design, Medicine, Warfare, Sports and Transportation, amongst others, every important technological category is covered.
