The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation by Jon Gertner
4.0
When I first received this book as a gift I was unsure what to expect. Having read the back cover I was intrigued but don't think it would have been a book I actively would have otherwise noticed. Having said that I am glad to have taken the time to finally read it.
For anyone interested in the history of technology or computers, this book full of wonderful research into the history of the great people and inventions that came out of the Bell Labs and was a joy to read. For those not so interested in such histories or general science the book may be less appealing, but that certainly does not make it any less fascinating and entertaining.
