The Technium: Steam-Engine-Time
https://kk.org/thetechnium/steam-engine-ti/
Steam-engine-time is another name for technological determinism, which is another way to say simultaneous independent invention, Turns out simultaneous parallel discovery and invention are the norm in science and technology rather than the exception (see my previous post). When it is steam-engine-time, steam engines will occur everywhere.
