Centuries of Change: Which Century Saw the Most Change and Why it Matters to Us by Ian Mortimer
informative
medium-paced
3.0
SPOLIER: the answer is 20th century.
Mortimer relates technology to change to arrive at a predictable answer. He draws together 50 of the major themes of the last thousand years in the western world. Then tries to get to grips with the nature of change.
The book is pretty much summarised here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/oct/30/10-greatest-changes-of-the-past-1000-years
