全球科技通史
大部分人谈到历史的时候，关注的是国家的兴衰、王朝的更替，往往忽视了科技的力量。“文津图书奖”得主吴军博士，首次从科技视角串联历史，以能量和信息两条主线，系统阐述了自智人以来人类文明的演进。
全书从远古科技、古代科技、近代科技和现代科技四个部分，详细描述了几万年来农业、工业、天文、地理、生物、数学等各个领域关键性的人物、事件及意义，绘制了一幅科技驱动历史的恢宏画卷。
本书既从不同角度对人们熟知的常识进行解读和剖析，又挖掘出许多新的观点，让读者见微知著，感受科技叠加式进步的魅力。
通过阅读本书，你将俯瞰一整部人类科技文明史，真正洞察世界变化的趋势，进而消除由于对周围世界缺乏了解、对未来缺乏把控而产生的焦虑。

3.5。這本書是引進對岸的簡體書，有些用語不是台灣慣用語，簡體書名是《全球科技通史》。
這本書以能量和信息為主線，講述科技歷史。套句作者在書中提到的概念，我感覺這本書讀起來比較像是一個個知識點，而不是各章節連結性比較強的體系論述，因為硬要說的話，每個科技都跟能量、信息有關。不過整體上讀起來還是知道很多事情，有些蠻有趣的，我也比較喜歡近代、現代科技的最後兩篇。
作者在後記還酸了一下美國反川普的人XD(說川普反智的人、不懂科學的人，反倒想減少美國學校的STEM課程，以期讓在課業不努力的學生「感到有面子」)，並警惕中國不要學習美國那些冠以公平之名的不理性作法。

this book claims to be the history of technology. the title sounds very objective, but it read super subjective, being filled with the author's personal understanding throughout...
but it was also not very comprehensive.
i actually bought several other books by the same author, they all have similar issues.
will still try to finish the copies i already have, but refrain from purchasing new ones by him.
