    *PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST*A sweeping history of the inventors, inventions, and innovations that together created modern America.A stunning, wide-ranging history from one of the foremost historians of technology of our age, American Genesis tells the sweeping story of the technological revolution that made modern America. Unlike other histories of technology, which focus on particular inventions like the light bulb or the automobile, American Genesis makes these inventions characters in a broad chronicle, both shaped by and shaping a culture. By weaving scientific and technological advancement into other cultural trends, and bringing in fascinating characters like Edison, Ford, and Frederick Taylor, Hughes demonstrates here the myriad ways in which the two are inexorably linked, and in a new preface, he recounts his earlier missteps in predicting the future of technology and follows its move into the information age.
