I'm not sure the 'manufacturing' category on Amazon Kindle is very big, but nice to see this nonetheless! amzn.eu/d/0adNCxid #manufacturing #innovation #physicalAI

My main pick for summer reading is Tim Minshall’s Your Life is Manufactured, particularly for those economists who like to promote the fantasy world of a ‘services-based’ economy www.innovationaus.com/relax-your-2... @timminshall.bsky.social

innovationaus.com

Relax! Your 2025 ultimate guide to Summer Reading has arrived!

It will surprise absolutely no-one that the common themes among this year’s Summer Reading recommendations are artificial intelligence and geopolitical risk, with a sprinkling of re-industrialisation....

Fascinating guests and wildly different books. I'll be reading @timminshall.bsky.social's "Your Life is Manufactured" ASAP; inventions + supply chain stuff are amazing. Yes, people need to know a LOT more about how their world works (+ helping explain it is my job too!). Thanks as always! #librarian
