A contrarian view point of Edison for me. Have always read/heard effusive praises or he being a cunning shrewd businessmen villain. This book throws a different light on the personality of Edison. I also got to know the snapshot view on the progress of technology and inventions in the late 19th and early 20th century.
A nice read. Nothing major here, but I gave it 4 stars instead of 3 because it changed the way I view Google as a company.
We tend to think of Google as the engine that took over the Internet, but this book presents a clear case that Google is not the evil giant it appears. Not pulling punches, the author disucsses both the benefits and the problems of Googles plans to organize everything we know. A MUST read for our profession!
