How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler by Ryan North

4.0

I've read several books of this kind: how to build a technological society from scratch, and this one is the most entertaining. Written as a guide for a time traveler who might end up anywhere in history, each chapter gives said traveler some idea of what the prerequisites might be for inventing the things necessary to make life more livable, or become famous for inventing things before their time. Of course it presupposes travel to areas where resources can be found, but it's still pretty clever and very accessible to anyone with scientific curiosity. If you like this kind of thing, you should seek out the anime "Dr Stone" which does the same thing in a post apocalyptic society.
