Perfectionists How engineers created the.. UA

Simon Winchester in his book traces the development of technology from the industrial to the digital age, examining a certain component -accuracy - which is a crucial factor in progress and both an advantage and a threat to our future. The author takes you on a journey through the evolution of technology, telling about the achievements of John Wilkinson, Henry Maudsley, Thomas Jefferson and other founders of scientific and technological progress. Analyzing the stories of their triumphant discoveries-from the first steam engines to the Hubble telescope and modern smartphones-Winchester explores a fundamental question: Can the technological and the natural coexist in society?
