Breakpoint: A Counter-History of Progress

Made in a rather dull way, but has the advantage of a genuine historical perspective, even if this means it tries to deal with too many questions and topics than are possible at this length, resulting in some simplification of complex questions in a way that approaches one-sidedness. Interesting that it largely stops the narrative at around 1980, assuming that the subsequent story is familiar, I guess, and also interesting that it makes the rare decision not to end with a message of "hope".
