Review: Almost a spiritual text for Budding Engineers - I am a budding engineer, and I just can't enough appreciate the importance of this book from professional POV. This served as tales of legends, an account of inspiring men who lead the electronics revolution 1947 onwards. This is for me what Gita would be for spiritual students. I can write a massive essay on this book itself, but in short I would say if you feel loner on path of being a masterful engineer, this book will introduce you to a bunch of souls to feel in company with, to keep on going. Review: Jon Gartner had done an excellent job in capturing the history of technology - Jon Gartner had done an excellent job in capturing the history of technology, the characters involved, how they shapes the things of future in communication science. Excellent read

4 stars!!!!
The book gives an insight into one of the most innovative periods in Human history when most of what we call the modern world was invented by the scientists and inventors at Bell Labs. The books talks in length about inventions like the telephone, transistor, optic fibre etc and how they came into being. The book comes across as well researched and it appears that the author spent 100s of hours researching this period in American history, it's a detailed read and does get a little boring in parts especially if you are not technologically savvy, though I would recommend this book as it's also a great book on management and describes the steps to innovation in detail,make sure you read the last chapter which is a very nice summary of the period when the innovations came into being
