Richard reviewed The idea factory by Jon Gernter
Review of 'The idea factory' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Great history of Bell Labs:
- I enjoyed the detailed accounts on how the technology was invented. Jon Gertner did not skimp on the scientific details
- I also enjoyed how the book followed the personal histories of Bell Lab's greatest minds. It was fascinating to learn about their lives and follow their development over the course of the story
- However, the latter part of the book dragged on
