Description
We live in a manufactured world. You are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products. How often do we stop to think: where do the things we buy actually come from?
Tim reveals the seismic impact manufacturing has had on our lives and the natural world, exploring how it could offer us a path to a truly sustainable, more equitable future.
There exists a nearly invisible, awe-inspiring global system of manufacturing. The things we surround ourselves with take surprising and often byzantine journeys to reach us. From mega-factory floors, engineering laboratories and seaports to distribution hubs, supermarkets and our own homes, Tim traces these journeys to reveal the hidden world of manufacturing.
