"Fast forward 88 years to 2012". Seeing as neither 1836 nor 1937 are anywhere close to 88 years before 2012, I'm not all that confident in the fact-checking of the other numbers in the article.

The author's sense of time and history is spectacularly bad.

Given that he made the mistake at multiple places across the article, he really seems to unquestioningly believe that the industrial revolution was underway less than 100 years ago in London.

I am sure the author meant 1837, but yeah, the rest is a mess. I notice these high profile tech blogs have a lot mistakes like this, probably due to the pressure to push a certain number of stories a day...quality and accuracy be damned.

And... whats the f-ing title of his book. I understand he is not self publishing but I thought that he said that in todays world he was still responsible for promoting his book. If so I think he failed a little bit here.
