Each episode shows the workings of a key idea as it intertwines in our lives taking it from inception to current processes and uses. Great gift for history and science buffs.

Review by Rabbit review stating Fascinating and Entertaining
We greatly enjoyed all the sessions of How We Got to Now so much that we ordered copies for all 3 sets of our Grandchildren as well as for our engineering and tinkering sons. My Grandfather ran an Ice House business. I never appreciated it so much until Steven Johnson explained how it developed and became US #2 export to cotton. But by this session we were already hooked on the series. We hope he does more.
