In this book, Steven Johnson examines the history of innovations over several centuries, tracing various aspects of modern life from their inception by laypeople and investors, to their unintended consequences throughout history. This book contains reports of random and clever mistakes. From the French publisher who invented the phonograph before Edison to the Hollywood actor who contributed to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. From the policeman who invented the photographic flash to the laser beam that produces heat equivalent to the heat of the central core of the sun. How We Got Here actually deals with the hidden history of today's everyday items.
