Overall, a hugely captivating panorama-style history in creativity, creation, and creating (in the broadest sense). From creation myths, to art, to the beginnings of photography and filmmaking, this history covers, essentially, from Cro Magnon to roughly the 1980s. Boorstin has really done his work. My only critique of his is that he's a bit of a stuffy Reaganite (even if he never explicitly says it) and assumes too much "positive consensus" and skimps over the darker inspirations in history. Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Fantastic read! Bibliography and endnotes are a must if you want to do your own research!
