Islamic golden age is a comparable situation, So were the pre-bronze age collapse civilizations (relative to their time)
What was different about early modern technological leap?

Nah, but seriously man, Everything going up to mass adoption of the printing press was also present; other places had societal conditions for rapid tech progress.

So, why us? Why did our tech revolution (1500s-on) change so much of the world, while these other ones barely made a difference?
