A Brief History of Stuff: The Extraordinary Stories of Ordinary Objects by D.K. PublishingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Because you don’t sell as many copies of a book called “Why Everything in Your Life Secretly Sucks.” On the one hand, I appreciate the unflinching look at how racism, sexism and other evils have helped shape ordinary household goods. But on the other hand, I picked this up in hopes of having a light summer reading experience rather than an unflinching look at anything. So the authors did a good job, but reader experience depends a lot on mindset.
