Всё страньше и страньше. Как теория относительности, рок-н-ролл и научная фантастика определили XX век

The book highlights how many surprising moments shaped history, but I'm curious about what motivated the choice to emphasize these particular events.

The way the book links seemingly unrelated incidents made me reflect on how history is interconnected. Was that the author's intent or just my interpretation?

With so many pivotal moments, I wonder what criteria were used to select these particular examples and how the author balanced depth with breadth.
