Science: Ruining Everything Since 1543

A single-issue comic from the indie publisher Breadpig, Science: Ruining Everything Since 1543 (2013) is a humorous, one-shot celebration of scientific discovery's unintended consequences. The comic, written and illustrated by a team including Zach Weinersmith, playfully explores how breakthroughs from the heliocentric model to modern innovations have upended our certainties and comforts. It matters as a witty, accessible primer that reframes the history of science as a series of delightful, world-shattering inconveniences.
