I did enjoy this book, even if I did lose interest and went on my phone randomly while reading the middle of a paragraph. This book taught me a lot that I didn’t know, like the fire that ruined thousands of buildings in Chicago in 1871.

An article recently arose with lucidity of one’s concerns, oversights, and regards for insight into individual interpretations of the world. With that, Andrew Braaksma wrote an article titled "Some Lessons From the Assembly Line", and within shares epiphanies while working a summer job during his time at college.
