El mundo está lleno de cuestiones científicas y técnicas que parecen sacadas de un universo de ciencia ficción. Pero... ¿se suponía que iba a ser así?

Los científicos nos prometieron coches voladores, turismo espacial y robots superinteligentes. Pero aunque vemos avances en todos esos campos cada día, la realidad es ligeramente distinta.

En este libro se habla de ese futuro prometido y de dónde estamos: del origen de internet, de los primeros ordenadores y hackers y de la carrera espacial, con explicaciones e ilustraciones fáciles de entender. Sin olvidar la importancia de la energía nuclear o el reto para la humanidad que suponen las cuestiones sobre privacidad en la red, la emergencia climática o las pandemias.

Microsiervos es uno de los mayores y más conocidos weblogs de divulgación sobre ciencia y tecnología de España. Si tienes amigos geeks, seguro que lo conocen; si alguna vez has buscado una respuesta en Google sobre cuestiones científicas o técnicas seguramente hayas leído algo escrito por ellos. Este libro pone al día algunos de sus mejores artículos junto con decenas de otros completamente nuevos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The world is full of scientific and technical aspects that seem to be taken right out of a science fiction universe. But ... was it supposed to be like that?

Scientists promised us flying cars, space tourism, and super-intelligent robots. But although we see progress in those fields every day, the reality is somewhat different.

This book discusses that once promised future and where we are today: the origin of the internet, the first computers and first hackers, and the space race, with easy-to-understand explanations and illustrations. The authors also discuss the importance of nuclear energy and the challenges that humanity faces today with issues like online privacy, a climate emergency, and global pandemics.

Microsiervos is one of the largest and best known science and technology blogs in Spain. If you have geeky friends, they sure know the blog; if you've ever Googled any scientific or technical questions, you've probably read something written by them. This book updates some of their best articles along with dozens of brand new ones

Great Watch with Great Sapphire Crystal
Color: Olive/Gunmetal
Waited 2.5 years before reviewing. I love the gunmetal grey case, olive dial, and the exceptional sapphire crystal. The watch is still running great. During cold weather when wearing long sleeves, I make sure I charge the watch monthly by placing it under a table lamp for many hours because it died once due to no daylight charging. One problem is being able to see the minute markings. (The same watch with blue dial is much easier to read.) I also replaced the military-style band immediately with the excellent Archer 20mm Olive band (ARC-QRN-OLV20) and Archer 20mm Matte Gunmetal buckle ( ARC-BKL-GRYM20). I am only allowed to review once for this Timex model, so adding comments about the "Blue" version (TW2V03600JR). The blue version is the same watch but easier to view. It looks GREAT with the Archer 20mm Navy Blue band (ARC-QRN-NVY20).

I design flaw caused me to return it.
Color: Brown/Blue
Pros: - Perfect case size. - Sapphire crystal. - Solar powered quartz. - Large dial face - Minute and second hands reach to minute track for precise reading. - Great field watch design and proportions. - Effective lume on hands. Cons: - Lume on small triangular hour markers is useless, and fades quickly. - The hour numbers are not luminous. - The dull peach color chosen for the hour markers, numbers and hands in dim lighting is very dull and thus hard to read. - The dark blue color chosen for the dial is a dull hue that doesn’t really look blue, but just reduces the contrast between text and markers. - A black dial and bright white markers and numbers would make the watch much more legible/ readable, and would look much better aesthetically. It is a shame that these choices were made on an otherwise perfect design. - I was really excited that Timex finally seemed to get it when they came out with this series of models, but then they handicapped it with a dial that is only useable in bright light. What a shame. I am returning the watch.
