Technological Uplift/Advancement Recommendations

[Cosmic_]

I'm pretty much looking for something similar to Digsjin's The Rules of Acquisition. Basically a story of a modern day person ending up in the past (preferably some time around or after 1800 AD), using his knowledge to build a business and tech empire, change history for the better, etc. Just something fun. I prefer it be historical and on Earth.

I have a story that fit some of the requirements: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/to-the-last-letter-but-screw-the-spirit.468554/

Summary: naive/stupid wehraboo time travelers (and some others, like weeaboos and tankies) traveled to interwar period Germany (and Japan & USSR) in order to build up the country, hilarity ensures. History did change for the better... for a given value of better.

If you're into that kind of system building logic, you'll probably notice how the protagonist's need for precise, real time data mirrors what companies like www.cogniteq.com/sports-software/fitness-apps do today, turning complex physical activities into structured, high performance digital systems.

You should definitely check out the 'Destiny's Crucible' series by Olan Thorensen, where a modern chemist is transported to a world with 1700s era technology and begins a massive industrial and social revolution
