Not everything is what you think. Sometimes you should unpack history to fully understand and cut through the propaganda, narratives, and bullshit.
Kessler unpacks the entire history of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, from the Industrial Revolution to computers, communications, money, gold and stock markets. These stories cut from the original manuscript were intended as a primer on the ways in which new technologies develop from unprofitable curiosities to essential investments. How We Got Here is the book Kessler wishes someone had handed him on his first day as a freshman engineering student at Cornell or on the day he started on Wall Street (which I can 100% agree with). This book connects the dots through history to how we got to where we are today.
