Nick Shepherd.
These books "trace" technology and transportation innovations "back to the beginning" of human history with a gimmicky timeline that snakes from upper left to lower right of each double-page spread. The books strictly impose this time-linear structure as cartoony digital illustrations in a limited palette mark seminal events (and digressions). A final summarizing timeline asks readers to imagine what's next. Glos., ind. Review covers these titles: Follow the Link: A Journey Through Technology and Follow the Link: A Journey Through Transportation.
