Quick Summary
Ever wonder what a roboticist actually does all day, or how a virtual-reality engineer turns a game idea into a fully immersive world? The book jumps right into real-world examples, interviewing people who design mobile phones, create biotech solutions, and build cutting-edge robots, all written in a way that feels like a conversation rather than a textbook. It's perfect for middle-grade readers who are curious about tech but don't have the patience for a thick, dense manual only about 5,000 words, so you can zip through it in an afternoon.
