Review: Fantastic And A Compelling Historical Story! - When I started this book, I had no idea the impact Philo T. Farnsworth had on the creation of television....he was the guy who did it. Not Zworykin, and definitely not David Sarnoff as his marketing team/RCA tried and continues to pull the wool over the public's eyes. It's not only the story of who really invented television (backed up by countess facts) but Paul Schatzkin's writing style kept me very engaged in the book from beginning to end. The best part is the audiobook because the Schatzkin is a great storyteller as well as writer and I really loved hearing the author tell the story the way it was meant to be heard. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audiobook as I followed along with the ebook version at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised how good this book is and highly recommend it.
Review: Fantastic Book! - I don't normally leave reviews but this time I had to because of how much I loved this book. This was such an amazing read. I knew very little about Farnsworth beforehand, only that he invented television. But while reading this book, I really felt like I was going on a journey through his life, and watching his ideas and thought process unfold along the way. I'm sad that his genius was ignored later in life and that his ideas for fusion never gained the recognition and funding they deserved by the major scientific institutions that hold most of the power and influence. Perhaps we could have been living in a very different world, full of fusion powered rockets, cars, and homes now if only someone decided to take a chance on the ideas of a humble farm boy with boundless scientific imagination. I definitely recommend this book, and will be re-reading it a few more times!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An easily understood explanation of how progress through invention & investment REALLY works
*by R***D on March 1, 2024*

This slowly unfolding mystery drama is worth sticking with to the end. The author exposes the obstacles placed in the paths of the fathers of invention via incestuous relationships among corporations, government and academia.
