This is the best technology history book ever.

Revisado: 03-08-23

So good. Deep insight into business, geopolitics, physics and innovation. A grand synthesis where at the end you feel a euphoric sense of how everything and everyone is connected through time and geography via chip technology. Sent shivers down my spine as it finished.

Don't bother

Revisado: 02-16-22

This is some kind of moneymaking scam recording with no production effort or editing and unorganized content that seems copy pasted from other sources. The 5 star reviews are fake/scam reviews. Don't waste your credit.

mediocre

Revisado: 08-03-20

Robotic and amateur reading quality with monotonous inflection, stutters, re-reads, and hesitations occurring in 1 in every 3 sentences. Appears to be unedited and unrehearsed.

Content contains minimal wisdom, guidance, or embellishment - seems to be mostly reference material. Reads like a set of notes or exam review facts that someone made while researching a book, not the final product itself.

Amazing history of science and war

Revisado: 10-05-19

This was as much a history of the bomb as it was a history of physics of the 20th century. I loved the format of following, in parallel, the many scientists during the lead-up to and making-of the atomic bomb. It was such a great way to develop, over the long course of the book, a familiarity with the "characters" like one has with something like Game of Thrones. The technical descriptions of physics are exceptionally detailed, and I really recommend the book to other scientists and engineers. The reader was for the most part acceptable, but at times would make me cringe with inappropriateand poorly excecuted imitations of accents. At many times he would over-act in a way that was just distracting, and I would have preferred a straight, respectful, reading in those instances. He also should have done more research into how to pronounce some of the proper nouns (which I understand there are many of and spanning many languages, and normally I am not picky about, but some of them were said so often or are such iconic and well-known names that it really would have been better to get it closer to correct). Anyway. It was still well worth tolerating because the original material is just so exceptionally well written and the reading was still good for a majority of the time.
