Bought the book last week, it's beautiful! Would anyone have any recommendations for other books that can offer deep insight into technology but also just can be leafed and skimmed through, perhaps part of a small library collection? I bought (a Dutch version of) "The Way Things Work", as well as "A Cat's Guide To Internet Freedom" and "Grokking Algorithms".
- K7PJP 3y agoI'd recommend Infrastructure: A Guide to the Industrial Landscape by Brian Hayes http://industrial-landscape.com/ http://industrial-landscape.com/ It covers everything from railroad tracks, antenna towers, highway overpasses, power lines, grain elevators, oil refineries, steel mills, and more… Lots of great pictures and detailed explanations. And I also bought "Open Circuits" and find it to be both beautiful and illuminating.

- fecal_henge 3y agoIf you mean "the way things work" by Macaulay then please look at his other books. I recommend "Unbuilding" massively.
