An Enthralling Look at How Machines and Factories Changed Our World

The Industrial Revolution marked one of the most dramatic shifts in human history. What began as a wave of invention turned into a complete transformation of how people lived, worked, and thought. This book unpacks that turning point with clarity and depth -- making sense of both the breakthroughs and the costs.

You'll explore:

• How millions were drawn from farms into factories, laying the foundation for explosive industrial growth.

• Why the steam engine became a force of global change, reshaping not just industries but daily life.

• The textile innovations that lowered prices, sped up production, and built the first modern factories.

• The gritty reality inside factory walls, including the experiences of women and children working long hours in tough conditions.

• Little-known stories of rivalry, patents, and the race for profit, as inventors and entrepreneurs scrambled for control.

• The rise of railways and telegraphs, and how they connected people, goods, and ideas across continents.

• The overlooked connection between industrial expansion, colonial power, and enslaved labor.

• Fresh ideas in science and technology that continued to spark changes far beyond the factory floor.

• A shift in how time, money, and work were understood -- and how it reshaped identity, ambition, and culture.

Whether you're curious about history, progress, or the roots of the modern world, this book offers a clear, honest lens into the era that set it all in motion. It brings the Industrial Revolution to life -- without glossing over the challenges it brought with it.
