Kaslov reviewed Crystal Fire by Michael Riordan
Review of 'Crystal Fire' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is an excellent book that covers the invention of the transistor from its theoretical origins all the way to the integrated circuits, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without the knowledge of chemistry, physics and/or electronics. The writer makes a valiant effort to explain all the theory, but it is done with mixed results.
