书籍介绍

The only book you need if you're going back in time

What would you do if a time machine hurled you thousands of years into the past. . . and then broke? How would you survive? Could you improve on humanity's original timeline? And how hard would it be to domesticate a giant wombat?

With this book as your guide, you'll survive--and thrive--in any period in Earth's history. Bestselling author and time-travel enthusiast Ryan North shows you how to invent all the modern conveniences we take for granted--from first principles. This illustrated manual contains all the science, engineering, art, philosophy, facts, and figures required for even the most clueless time traveler to build a civilization from the ground up. Deeply researched, irreverent, and significantly more fun than being eaten by a saber-toothed tiger, How to Invent Everything will make you smarter, more competent, and completely prepared to become the most important and influential person ever. You're about to make history. . . better.

用户评论
超好玩,看完可以学到巨量的“没什么用”的知识。
理工思维抽象化的人类进化史,知道很多小知识,好多平时没有意识到的发明其实在人类进步的进程里发挥了很大的作用。
看到一些纯物物理或者逻辑内容超出了我的接受水平,就跳过了。勉强把这本书读完,附录没仔细看,都是说明书。动手能力强的人看到这本书可能感觉如获至宝。
h2g2 风格的 civilization --- 像喜爱 h2g2 一样喜爱它
伪装成科幻的人类科技/文化史
作者超级幽默风趣。对手工不是很感兴趣所以中间很多部分是跳读的。
