How did they make it” type books?

Hello everyone,

I would be interested in finding books that describe "tech trees", similar to what you would find in a lot of real time strategy (RTS) games.

The type of format I am after would be a tree or list of core inventions used to develop early societies. (Let's say up to the invention of electricity to keep it simple.) After which, each invention would be described, it's dependencies, the reasons for this improvement and why it was supplanted by another invention, etc.

I would really be interested by A to Z approaches starting from natural resource discovery and collection, to the various transformation processes, the required tooling up to the final invention.

(To my knowledge no books have been published by Mr. Devereaux based on the concept of his blog series "how did they make it" hosted on acoup.blog.)

Thank you a lot in advance!
