A" Soul of a New Machine"for our time a gripping account of
invention, commerce, and duplicity in the age of technology A
worldwide race is on to perfect the next engine of economic growth,
the advanced lithium-ion battery. It will power the electric car,
relieve global warming, and catapult the winner into a new era of
economic and political mastery. Can the United States win? Steve
LeVine was granted unprecedented access to a secure federal
laboratory outside Chicago, where a group of geniuses is trying to
solve this next monumental task of physics and engineering. But
these scientists almost all foreign born are not alone. With so
much at stake, researchers in Japan, South Korea, and China are in
the same pursuit. The drama intensifies when a Silicon Valley
start-up licenses the federal laboratory s signature invention with
the aim of a blockbuster sale to the world s biggest carmakers.
"The Powerhouse"is a real-time, two-year account of big invention,
big commercialization, and big deception. It exposes the layers of
aspiration and disappointment, competition and ambition behind this
great turning point in the history of technology."
