The Box

A good example of a great book suffering from poor editing. There are parts where it wants to be a history book, parts when it fantasizes about future, parts where it's focused on global economy, parts when it wants to be an investigative journal,... it's a mess. But the overall story is indeed super interesting - how such a “trivial” invention changed the global trade forever and in ways no one could ever imagine.

So I recommend it, but feel free to skip chapters.
