A review by jaimeanno
A People's History of Science: Miners, Midwives, and Low Mechanicks by Clifford D. Conner

3.0

I felt that each section probably could have been expanded into books on their own (and most of the section topics already do have entire books written about them!), so everything felt kind of rushed and condensed. That said, I think this is a very good introduction to thinking about the history of science and technology as invented by and stolen from "the people".

My only major gripe is that in the section about personal computers and the "revolution" of the internet, there was no mention of the technology access gap nor the race and gender gaps in STEM classes/tech companies. I think that section in particular could have used WAY more critical thinking.
