The world runs on ideas, but it can be difficult to remember how all the big and small inventions that define our existence were once just ink on a page, waiting to be constructed into a prototype. It’s that ink on those pages – submitted to the US Patent Office – that are the subject of the upcoming book Gadgets, Games and Gizmos: 122 Inventions that Changed the World.
Gadgets, Games and Gizmos: 122 Inventions that Changed the World has those drawings for, uh, I believe it’s 122 of the most commonplace inventions in our everyday lives: Ballpoint pens and paperclips, yes, but also the Game Boy and even the classic Coca-Cola bottle.
Gadgets, Games and Gizmos: 122 Inventions that Changed the World does not appear to have a release date as of this writing, but you can nevertheless put down a pre-order at Amazon right here, where the book is currently priced at a little bit under $19.
