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

Such fun! North presses a lot of very interesting (and potentially useful) information into pithy prose packaged precisely for casual reading. The format will accommodate you whether you want to go from cover to cover or skip around. ( )

Charming semi-history of human innovation as a manual for a time traveler stuck in the past. I loved the Crosstime Engineer (yes, I know now) and so it was fun for me despite the occasional dry lists. ( )

This is a humerous and educational book. The reader learns details of technology from crop rotation to machines. Since the book is aimed at recreating modern society, many of the ideas are explained on a scale that can't be reasonably implemented by a single individual. However, the information is interesting in its own right, and a determined reader could scale down some of the technologies to test in their backyards. ( )

Amazing
Hilarious
Informative

This book deserves to be read in schools for the broad spectrum of information it doles out with humor & insight.

It may be a fictional conceit/platform, but this book is great at teaching how history, technology, & society all interweave. ( )

I didn’t write this book. I found it. It was wholly encased in bedrock , and I know that because I was the one who broke that heavy granulite stone open.
