 From the blue dot on your smartphone to the satellites powering global finance and power grids, GPS has become civilization's invisible backbone. Little Blue Dot tells the captivating story of how a Cold War military project transformed into an indispensable everyday utility. Historian Katherine Dunn traces location technology from ancient celestial navigation to modern satellite orbits, exploring how visionary engineers created atomic-clock constellations to solve long-range guidance challenges. She reveals how this restricted military system became public, enabling ridesharing, aviation, logistics, precision agriculture, and smartphone mapping—while examining the geopolitical, privacy, and security vulnerabilities of our GPS-dependent world. Accessible and deeply researched, this narrative history weaves together technological innovation, political intrigue, and human stories. Perfect for readers who loved Longitude by Dava Sobel, The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson, and The Chip War by Chris Miller. No technical background required—just curiosity about how modern life works.
