At first, there was only metal. No breath. No blood. Just the low hum of circuitry and the flash of electrons following rules. The Makers called themselves the Architects. They’d mastered fusion and gravity. They turned asteroids into orchards and black holes into batteries. But even with all their godlike power, they still couldn’t figure

This is a big, swaggering, often mischievous book (part polemic, part excavation, part

By any metric of historical progress, we live in extraordinary times. We have antibiotics, clean water, and global communication in the palm of our hands. Compared to our ancestors who battled famine, disease, and war as a daily rhythm of life, our modern world is plush with safety nets and creature comforts. And yet, despite
