In 1978, British #science historian #JamesBurke hosted the #BBC series Connections, exploring how inventions throughout history are interlinked. Burke delivers one of TV’s most iconic moments. He turns and points to the sky exactly as a rocket launches behind him. Absolutely brilliant #TVSky 👏👌🔄

Ms Popova writes wonderful essays filled with history, art, philosophy, science and literature. This is food for thought in the best sense.
Fans of #TerryPratchett and #JamesBurke will appreciate the creative weaving of connections.
A cleanse from doomscrolling, and perspective from great minds.

The upside being, the arrival of my ordered DVD of James Burke's "Connections".
