This is a book about 10 objects. You may not have seen them before, but they've already changed the way you live. Each chapter of this book examines an object that is driving radical change in the global economy: how we communicate, what we eat, the way we spend our money. The stories are told through global reporting, original photography and illustration by award-winning artists, contributions from business visionaries like Bill Gates, data visualization, and interactive features.

Review
"It makes you look smart, refined, and also like you have an aesthetic appreciation for beautiful objects." -- Wired
"Apart from the killer premise, this book is a well-crafted masterpiece of graphic design... Every photo in this book is worth a frame....It's one of those books you can pick up, flip between pages, and just enjoy. And the best part, you look like a flesh and blood intellectual to all your friends." -- The Hustle
"A ravishingly designed and intelligently written study of modern technology." -- Kirkus Reviews

From the Author
Quartz will always be digitally native, but some stories deserve to be told in a more permanent format. We build all of our products to delight and inform, and this one uses paper for new kinds of visual storytelling. The global changes reported in Objects will have you referring to these pages for years to come, and we hope you will be delighted every time. (Objects is also the first Quartz product you can wrap and give as a gift.)
We hope you enjoy reading Objects as much as we enjoyed making it.
