Could you recommend any good/interesting books on the Industrial Revolution/1800s? I've always been fascinated on that time period and its impact on everything from science to philosophy to economies, yet I've yet to really wade into all the books touching on it.

(disclaimer: when I recommend books, I probably haven’t read them myself, since I tend to be the type that hoards and starts dozens of different books and then never gets to finishing any of them. It’s terrible…)

Even if we were only talking Europe, that would be a crazy broad category. For books specific to Industrial Revolution-era Britain (which, I guess, is what most people picture when they think “Industrial Age”) there’s the (sort of old) Industry and Empire and the even older book The Industrial Revolution, 1760-1830. If you wanted you could also look at some sources from the time period, and it wouldn’t hurt to also read some lit from that time period - Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and the entire sub-genre of the industrial novel

This is a very inadequate rec list so I think I’ll just turn this question over to my followers….
