How We Got to Now With Steven Johnson

This new six-part series and book co-created and hosted by best-selling science and technology author Steven Johnson (Where Good Ideas Come From, Everything Bad is Good for You), examines the fascinating stories of the unlikely people whose ideas have made our modern world possible. 

The series looks at the little-known stories of the men and women who came up with revolutionary innovations that have had far reaching consequences beyond their original intent and play a role in just about every aspect of our daily lives. The ideas are broken down into six themes that encompass the pillars of modern civilization: Cold, Time, Light, Clean, Glass, and Sound.
