Bottled Genius: The Secret Histories of Drinks That Changed the World
History isn’t written in stone. It’s brewed, fermented, and bottled.
Before coffee fueled revolutions or cola became a global icon, every sip of history began as an act of defiance, a scientific accident, or a merchant’s obsession.
In Bottled Genius, the first volume of the Hidden Histories Series, Theo Ashbridge uncovers the "behavioral technologies" hiding in your glass. This isn't just a timeline of beverages; it’s a cinematic journey through the quiet revolutions that built the modern world:
Meticulously researched and written with the "emotional truth" of the people who lived it, Bottled Genius reveals that the smallest discoveries ripple across centuries.
Stop just drinking history. Start understanding the genius that shaped it.
Perfect for readers of: Mark Kurlansky’s Salt, Ainissa Ramirez’s The Alchemy of Us, and Steven Johnson’s How We Got to Now.
