When thinking about inventions I am reminded of the quote, "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters". This book aims to list 100 greatest hits of humanity in terms of inventions to introduce and motivate future generations of inventors to the true range of human inventions. One of the books which made an impact on me as a child was The 100 by Princeton professor Michael Hart. This book takes a similar style and I hope will motivate a few future inventors. This is a book which ranks all the innovations we people invented and played a role in shaping humanity itself. This book ranks innovation based on impact to human cultural evolution irrespective whether it was purely positive. I have tried to give the rankings rational justification as much as possible, particularly by comparing an invention with its closest competitors and why it is ranked in a particular place relative to them. Think about the collective loss to humanity if Jonas Salk went to work on financial innovations for Goldman Sachs or advertising optimization for Google in the 1950s. How many of us know Robert Cochrane's work in India on leprosy (chapter on Antibiotic) or Maurice Hilleman's work who invented 40 vaccines including MMR (chapter on Vaccine) while we know all about the umpteenth billionaire selling a battery driven car or yet another useless form of social media. If humanity doesn't get our priorities right, the innovation that powered human productivity can slow down and human talent will be wasted away in serving advertisements a few more milliseconds faster or serving celebrities' thoughts in the toilet in one sentence bites or trading stocks using sophisticated neural networks. If the book helps few of the readers focus on fundamental inventions and human productivity this book will have done its job.

There are nearly 7 billion people in the world today. We are living longer, healthier, and better lives than anyone who has gone before. And this is the result of a whole chain of people who have invented or discovered something that has changed our world. Where would we be without inventors, philosophers, economists, politicians, explorers, and other "ideas" people? Some of our historical heroes were lone geniuses but many were influenced by other great thinkers and ideas. There would be no Facebook without the internet-and no internet with computers. And there could be no computers without the great mathematicians and philosophers of ancient times. So who's the Genius-Mark Zuckerberg, or Pythagoras? We think it's both. This is why every spread features a panel called "They couldn't have done it without...", revealing the people who made earlier contributions to the cause. With chapters on medicine and food processes, entertainment and culture, there's something in 100 People Who Made History for everyone. Full of true-life stories and famous celebs, 100 People proves that history can be exciting and relevant. So let's hear it for the heroes from throughout the ages: those who save lives, those who improve lives, and those who make our lives just that bit more enjoyable.
