Exploring an Alternate Path of Human Civilization
Imagine a world where the steam engine, the power loom, and countless other inventions that propelled humanity into modernity never came to be. What would life look like if the Industrial Revolution—a pivotal era that shaped our society, economy, and culture—never happened?
"Unwinding Progress: What If The Industrial Revolution Never Happened?" takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through this alternate timeline. Through a blend of history, sociology, economics, and speculative fiction, the book explores how the lack of industrialization would have affected everything from daily life and social structures, to technological development, politics, and the environment.
Gain new perspectives on how the Industrial Revolution has shaped our world, and engage your imagination in envisioning how different our society would be without it.
