Your life is manufactured : how we make things, why it matters and how we can do it better
Minshall, Tim2025
Book
We live in a manufactured world. Unless you are floating naked through space, you are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products. There exists a nearly invisible global system of manufacturing that enables virtually every aspect of our existence. The things we surround ourselves with - from everyday items like toilet roll and the clothing we wear to smartphones, bicycles and everything in between - take surprising and often mind-boggling journeys to reach us. Traversing mega-factory floors, engineering laboratories and seaports to distribution hubs, supermarkets and our own homes, Tim Minshall traces these journeys to reveal the hidden world of manufacturing.
