History

What I’m excited about: canal developments in 1790s in UK

innovations down stream from Newcomen engine that pumped water out of mines led to development of the steam engine

Steam engine led to being able to move lots of mass using canals, which led to massive canal development in England over the next few decades

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Where did you (or where would you recommend I) start this rabbit hole? 

That's one of those unexpectedly, insanely high-leverage innovations that we take for granted.
