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

3.0

Basically, a goofy history of technology. Unfortunately, to achieve its purported goal -- "all the information you need to rebuild civilization" -- it would have to be much more detailed instead of just giving you general ideas of different historical inventions. The book would also benefit from more photos and diagrams -- and a higher quality of images. Finally, there are a small number of annoying inaccuracies. But it's a fun read for nerds.
