About this listen

DAYTON: The City That Invented the Future is a raw, heartfelt, and sharply written portrait of one of America’s most important and misunderstood cities. From the Wright brothers to Funk music, from NCR to GM, from the Great Flood to the Oregon District, JJ walks through the neighborhoods, memories, machines, and people that made Dayton what it is. But this isn’t just a local history book. It’s personal. And it’s layered. Told through the eyes of someone who grew up here, it's part memoir, part diagnosis, and part love letter to a city that changed the world and got left behind in the process. Whether you’re from the 937 or just curious how one midwestern city helped shape modern life, this book will change the way you see Dayton, and maybe the whole country.
