Conquering the Electron offers readers a true and engaging history
of the world of electronics, beginning with the discoveries of
static electricity and magnetism and ending with the creation of
the smartphone and the iPad. This book shows the interconnection of
each advance to the next on the long journey to our modern-day
technologies. Exploring the combination of genius, infighting, and
luck that powered the creation of today's electronic age,
Conquering the Electron debunks the hero worship so often plaguing
the stories of great advances. Want to know how AT&T's Bell
Labs developed semiconductor technology-and how its leading
scientists almost came to blows in the process? Want to understand
how radio and television work-and why RCA drove their inventors to
financial ruin and early graves? Conquering the Electron offers
these stories and more, presenting each revolutionary technological
advance right alongside blow-by-blow personal battles that all too
often took place.
