Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dagogo has the ability to both enlighten my understanding of our technological past while simultaneously inspiring a great deal of excitement and optimism for the future, and the incredible possibilities technology creates. The best part is you don't need to be an engineer or physicist to be taken on the journey―it's just good old fashioned storytelling at its finest." ―Josiah 'Jazza' Brooks, creator of Drawing With Jazza

"ColdFusion treads at the intersection of business and technology, covering both in a vivid fashion that is unique on YouTube. A staple in the video diet of any entrepreneurially minded individual, Dagogo's channel represents the best of what we creators have to offer to the world. I am certain he will carry an even greater rigor in his bold foray into literature." ―Jordan Kouzmanoff, Producer of Business Casual

"ColdFusion is a lens into past innovations to make us better understand what we can expect from the future. The thorough research on which the videos are based guarantee that the viewer gets a comprehensive and objective view on how the most world-changing technologies have come to existence and what drove the people behind them." ―Managing Director at ALACAES Engineering

"Dagogo has the uncanny ability to take fascinating topics and somehow make them even more interesting. He is a futurist with a unique voice and style, painting an enlightening and exciting vision of our technological past, present, and future. Educational, entertaining, and occasionally unsettling - but always highly thought provoking." ―Adam Sinicki, founder of The Bioneer and author.

"Altraide looks at the history of human advancements, examines the size and scope of today’s biggest companies, and looks into the gadgets that will play big roles going forward." ―Sam Gutelle, TubeFilter

I discovered Dagogo's YouTube channel, Cold Fusion, about a year and a half ago. I appreciated the way he weaved story-telling with images and video. I was delighted to find out he would be offering a book about the history of technology. Just like his videos, his book is perceptive, engaging, original, and easy to follow. The book is a unique overview of the fascinating technological world in which we have come to live. Highly recommended for anyone interested in connecting the dots in regards to technological development and trends.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very superficial recount of science of the past century
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022
Verified Purchase
I was very disappointed with this book. I was expecting a much deeper coverage and possibly analysis of the amazing technological and scientific advancements of the last century but it turned out to be just a brief and superficial recount of them. I don’t know someone to tell me how the coming of video games happened in a chapter of one paragraph long, I lived through it. The most value I was able to get from this book was some mild nostalgia for the last few years of history covered by the book.

I have been watching Cold Fusion videos on YouTube for years. Dagogo is a gem. This book is great. He presents a ton of technology and some of the stories behind. I also snagged the audio book as well, I just wish he would have the author would have read it aloud as his voice is pretty rad!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview of technological progression and trends
Reviewed in Canada on March 9, 2019

A great read of the advancement of technology that shapes our modern world. Similarly to his videos, Dagogo Altraide does a great job in giving a high overview of a broad range of technologies and its impact in a way that is easy to follow. Reading this book reminds me of a theme in science I was once told by a teacher that our understanding of science and society as a whole is not by a single person but rather built by various people building up on each others' ideas and works to get where we are today which the author also states in the concluding chapter.

"In this book, we've seen how our current world was built by those who stood on the shoulders of previous innovators".

After finishing the book, there's only one slight disappointment that I have which is bias on my part which is the influence Linux has in our modern society. As a person who touches Linux Systems on a daily basis, I am sadden that the book did not mention the importance of Linux but that does not change my appreciation of the book. I would recommend anyone who wishes to know the history of technology in an overview and not be overwhelmed and boggled with the details and specifics of each technology to take a read of this book. I have learned a lot from the book and also from his Youtube channel and learned of innovators who are often forgotten by the general public.
