權力與進步：科技變革與共享繁榮之間的千年辯證

The book covers a vast timespan, so I'm curious about the selection process for the events and figures discussed. Were there specific themes or patterns that guided these choices?

It made me think about current debates about tech monopolies and wealth concentration. How do others interpret the historical patterns in today's context?

The narrative spans centuries, connecting past and present. I wonder if this approach was planned from the beginning or evolved during research and writing.
