TL;DR
Better title: "Where are all the flying cars?" A 3500-word survey of what
worked (transistor-enabled computing and the internet) and what didn't (space
travel and nuclear) post-WW2. As an alum of the author's employer, I never
thought much of that "field of concentration" known as HistOfSci. Matt Damon's
observation about library late charges was spot-on.
