What do the 'artificial lightning' of the cannon and the 'beautiful art' of the printing press have in common? Christoph Besold explores how accidental alchemical failures and incremental mechanical breakthroughs birthed the two most disruptive technologies in human history. Discover a world where gunpowder was a 'plague' and the first printed books were mistaken for supernatural deceptions.
