This book is one of the first general presentations of the history of Finnish technology and industry. It offers perspectives on the role of technology and industry in Finnish history, the technological developments that have shaped the history of independent Finland, and how technology has influenced the lives of Finns and how Finns have influenced technology. It explores the Finnish history of elevators, toilets, chainsaws, computers, nuclear power plants, machine shops, airplanes, and even water supply systems.

The chapters of the book examine the history of technological perceptions and systems related to the home and housing, the technical changes in forestry that transformed the entire society, the accumulation of technical skills within expert networks, the long trajectory of the metal industry, and the importance of water supply for modern life in Finland. The reader is guided from an apartment in Helsinki to a machine logging site in Kuusamo, from the Helsinki University of Technology to the nickel deposits of Petsamo, and from the door of a yard barn to a shower well in Tampere to explore how Finland became a country of technology.
