It may be hard to imagine today, but some of the most revolutionary inventions were initially thought to be too bizarre to really work. These include home computers, cars, and even the light bulb! This book allows readers and future inventors to understand key ideas regarding modern-day advancements that may seem eccentric now, but could transform the world. These developments include cities that act like sponges to prevent flooding caused by climate change, a way to change a bacteria's genetic material to treat inherited diseases, and even technology that imitates photosynthesis to create fuel!
