For millennia, humanity's greatest leaps forward have followed a hidden rhythm, a pattern woven into the very fabric of our progress. But what if this pattern could be deciphered, understood, and even harnessed? This book unveils the startling truth: the transformative adoption of new technologies, ideas, and behaviors isn't random—it's a repeating cycle spanning centuries, perhaps even eons.

Based on an exhaustive analysis of 1,500 pivotal moments in history, this isn't just a glimpse into our past; it's a roadmap to our future. Will we unlock the potential of solar power, AI, and other groundbreaking innovations to create an era of unprecedented prosperity? Or will we stumble, destined for stagnation? The answers lie within the Pattern of Progress, a key to shaping the destiny of civilization itself.

Very interesting

There were so many interesting facts, one after the other. It was very enjoyable to listen to. The beginning wasn't very interesting to me, but it wasn't very long, so it was fine. Once it got into the examples, I was hooked.

Worst narration ever

The ai narration is mind numbingly bad. Do not waste your time. Listening to it struggle over such difficult words like “February” was painful. I imagine the paper book is readable.
