"A fascinating history of the unexpected intersection of science, technology and show business." --John Steele Gordon, author of " Hamilton's Blessing" "Once upon a time, American know-how flourished through show-how: spectacular demonstrations by ever resourceful technological entrepreneurs. David Lindsay brings back these glorious (and sometimes infamous) theatricals in a delightful, witty, narrative with a serious point: the American inventor, now relegated to endless rehearsals, needs to resume a rightful place on the national center stage. For admirers and critics of technology and for veteran and inspiring inventors, "Madness in the Making" will give pleasure and inspire debate." --Edward Tenner. Author of "Why Things Bite Back"
