Emil Jaffal’s Reviews > The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation > Status Update

One of the most brilliant books I’ve read in my life. The mystique of American innovation is truly unrivaled, and the blend of historical facts, notable figures, and the atrocious monopoly that was AT&T can only lead one to believe that capitalism is the only way forward. Mild satire aside, wonderful encapsulation of the American advances in technology, and stresses we need to maintain our hegemony.
