I used to be a scientist who loved peace and quiet, living like a Zen monk and keeping to myself. So when that truck came hurtling toward me like an arrow loosed from a bow, I was still lost in my own little world. The impact sent me spinning, and my soul was knocked right out of my body. Before I could figure out what had happened, I transmigrated into the body of a noble scion from a prestigious family in a world of swords and magic. When I learned that a catastrophic war was about to engulf my new world, I immediately set off an industrial revolution, pushing full speed ahead with comprehensive reforms in modern agriculture, commerce, education, transportation, sanitation, and weapons manufacturing. I swore to get humanity fully prepared for the coming storm.
This book is quite interesting, about the rise of industrialized technology suppressing the happiness of the indigenous people.
