Right now, you're looking at glass — through a screen made of it, filmed through a lens made of it, maybe wearing it on your face. It is the most important material you never think about. And you've been staring straight through it your whole life. In the History of Glass, we trace 5,500 years of the most invisible revolution in human history — from an accidental discovery in Mesopotamian kilns, to the anonymous craftsman who changed civilization with a single breath, to the forgotten Venetian glassmaker who invented the clearest glass the world had ever seen and died without recognition. And then to a phone all that lead to the phone in your pocket.
