«James May's Magnificent Machines» is the popular science essay by James May and Phil Dolling, published by Hodder & Stoughton in paperback.
It surveys the machines that defined the 20th century: aviation, space travel, television, computing and electronic music, and how they changed everyday life. It also explains why inventions like the zeppelin, the hovercraft or the theremin failed, and the tipping points that made the car and the internet unstoppable.
The original subtitle is «How men in sheds have changed our lives»; the 2008 edition has 368 pages and is in English.
Recommended for readers interested in technology and contemporary history, and for those who know James May from Top Gear.
