As much as technology has changed in the past decades, the leaps taken during the mid-1800s may have been even more transformative. Author Iwan Rhys Morus delves into the scientific revolution of the Victorian Era, including telegraphs and telephones, machines that could think, and engines created to aim for the skies. In 1866, when a telegraph cable was successfully laid across the Atlantic Ocean, it became clear that science and technology were headed in unimaginable directions, including to the moon 103 years later.
