An exuberant exploration of why the stuff we use (mostly) works―and a celebration of the unsung engineers who ensure it does.
When a manufacturer offers a 10,000-mile warranty on a car or slaps a “bear-resistant” label on a camping cooler, what do we know about how trustworthy that promise is, and how it’s backed up? For the cooler, it’s Kobuk the Destroyer, the fiercest member of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee’s panel of product-testing bears: Gifted at cracking locks and foiling manufacturers, Kobuk and his fellow bears play a crucial role in keeping us (and our snacks) safe. For everything else―as journalist Alex Davies reveals in this freewheeling tour of the hidden work that keeps the modern world going, safely and dependably―we have test engineers, who imagine how anything and everything could go wrong, and fight back.
