Magia wynalazków. O tym, jak połączyła nas stal, miedź dała głos, a krzem odmienił nasze umysły
Jak dążenie do precyzyjnego działania czasomierzy poskutkowało zmianą modelu spania? Jak sieć torów kolejowych przyczyniła się do komercjalizacji świąt Bożego Narodzenia? Jak wymuszona zwięzłość depesz wpłynęła na prozę Hemingwaya? Ainissa Ramirez analizuje osiem wynalazków: zegary, stalowe tory, miedziane druty telekomunikacyjne, błonę fotograficzną, żarówki, twarde dyski, szkło laboratoryjne i krzemowe chipy. Opowiada historię kobiety, która handlowała czasem, fotografa-wizjonera, który jako pierwszy uchwycił na zdjęciu ruch, krewkiego przedsiębiorcy pogrzebowego, którego wynalazek utorował drogę powstaniu komputerów. Te fascynujące i inspirujące historie dają nam nowe spojrzenie na związki człowieka z techniką. Ramirez pisze nie tylko o tym, jak różne materiały były kształtowane przez swych wynalazców, lecz również o tym, jak one same kształtowały naszą kulturę. Magia wynalazków uzmysławia, że nowatorstwo jest wszechobecne – każdy człowiek może stworzyć coś nowego, czy to przycinając takty za pomocą talerzy gramofonowych i mikrofonu, czy przycinając geny za pomocą próbówek i CRISPR.
