The literary style is characterized by incisive observations and a rich vocabulary, situating the text within the larger discourse of scientific and technological histories that highlight the interconnectedness of knowledge across disciplines. George Grant, a prominent Canadian philosopher and public intellectual, draws upon his extensive background in history and philosophy to craft this examination of human creativity. His interest in the ethical implications of technological advancements is evident throughout the work, reflecting his commitment to understanding not just the 'how' of inventions, but the 'why.' Grant's philosophical inquiries into the nature of progress and the moral dilemmas it presents colour his narrative, making it as much an ethical treatise as a historical account.

Scholars, students, and curious readers alike will find themselves captivated by Grant's thoughtful exploration of inventions that have reshaped our lives, encouraging reflection on the responsibility that accompanies such progress.
