This is a _dense_ book (in the best way). So much incredible history that's not as well presented anywhere else I've found. Sitting at 500+ pages and the font is pretty damn small, this is one hell of an informative book. We really stand on the shoulders of giants.


Took me about 6 months to finish it. But it was such a fun read! I would put it in the leagues of Making of the Atomic Bomb and Emperors of Maladies.


And Rocket Men.


'The Dream Machine' languished in my 'To read' pile until I started the audiobook while on a road trip earlier this year. I was drawn in and read it through, switching between audio and ebook. I knew parts of the puzzle but it was amazing to see how they all fit together. An amazing book about a series of amazing accomplishments that let us share these ideas so widely and quickly.
