Enjoyable, perhaps a bit concise, I would have enjoyed it even at three times the length, so showing the text as it's read would be great with a book like this that includes formulas

The sentence structure through the boom is broken up in a matter so strange I must assume it's Laurence's voice fed into an AI model. it maintains the exact speed, and energy at all times , which makes me feel like I've been put on hold on a call

This book does not contain useful explanations of concepts, just a brief historical outline. Written in the usual self flagellating manner of a left leaning intellectual, with occasional explanations of forces that amount to simple formulae, but no practical applications of this.

It is narrated dispassionately by someone who could be replaced by a text to speech program.

Not recommended at all.

A patronising history of Engineering
