Steven Johnson: How We Got to Now

Hailed as "the Darwin of technology," best-selling writer Steven Johnson knows a lot about the intersection of science, technology and everyday life—and, better yet, he knows how to explain his ideas to the rest of us. Tonight he takes us on a journey through the secret history of mundane objects (like refrigerators and eyeglass lenses) with a presentation based on his PBS series and new book How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World. Reserve your spot for the evening here.
