Seabrook does a great job of describing the dynamics behind the development and commercialization of several innovations. Those interested in invention are well advised to find the risk side of the rewards from innovation.

It is kind of like reading magazine articles. I'm surprised they made a movie from such a short story. Anyway, beware as most of the other stories end up having a depressing feel or ending.

Love books like these,
This review is from: Flash of Genius: And Other True Stories of Invention (Paperback)
I love books like these that show how regular people can create amazing gadgets. I grew up seeing my Dad fashion problem solving devices from junk in the basement. I can't get enough of books like these. I already bought and read Gadget Nation Gadget Nation: A Journey Through the Eccentric World of Invention a similar book, but a little funnier because it showcased quirky gadgets. I ended up buying a couple from the store at http://GadgetNation.net/store. Hope that helps. ;)
