Synopsis

A visual history of the inventions, discoveries and technology that have shaped our world.

In his signature playful style, Peter Goes brings together breakthroughs in science, IT, entertainment, medicine and everyday life. He shows us the earliest flute alongside tools and weapons, takes us from candle clocks to drones, from spectacles to genetic modification, from the toothpaste of Ancient Egypt to the clones of the future.

These cross-sections of history highlight human ingenuity and hope, from the Stone Age to the world of tomorrow.
