"How to Invent Everything is such a cool book. It's essential reading for anyone who needs to duplicate an industrial civilization quickly." --Randall Munroe, xkcd creator and New York Times-bestselling author of What If? The only book you need if you're going back in timeWhat 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.

Çok faydalı ve ilginç
Çok ince sayfaları olmasa kütük gibi bir kitap olurmuş. Zaman yolculuğuna çıkıyoruz ve zamanda istediğimiz anda durup istediğimiz icatları çıkarıyoruz! ben sürükleyici ve ilginç buldum.

Beware the Kindle version
Don't buy the Kindle version. I'm locked in the past and the Kindle battery won't last till I'm able to invent a way to recharge it.

Pure genius from start to finish
Pure genius from start to finishThis book is a triumph. It’s witty, informative, and beautifully designed. Whether you want to know how to forge steel or just want a good laugh about how weird human history is, this is the book for you. It’s the kind of book you’ll find yourself quoting to friends for weeks. Five stars isn't enough!

This is a great read!
I ordered this as a gift for my boyfriend due to his interest in the show Dr. Stone, which has a similar premise. This book is awesome, it has a wealth of knowledge that is explained really well. The author has a great sense of humour, and my boyfriend actually wants to try out some of the stuff in the book. We'll see how that goes!
