Book finished: The Idea Factory
Jan. 4th, 2017 10:28 pmThe Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation by Jon Gertner
★★★★★
A fascinating book about the singular research laboratory that pretty much created the world we live in today. That's a hell of a claim, but it's hard to deny.

★★★★☆
Pretty interesting. Maybe 3.5 actually, but what the heck. The story continues, this is a significant step up from the first book IMO. Glad that the series got some legs, because the premise has a lot of promise but the beginning was a bit shaky, but that's often the case.
