Synopsis

By the first decade of the twentieth century, Thomas Alva Edison had become a subject of mythic awe. The "wizard of Menlo Park," the "Napoleon" of industrial technology, Edison was a self-educated genius with an intuition for practical invention. He produced miracle after miracle--the phonograph, the light bulb, motion pictures, and countless other products that to this day are intimately intertwined with our daily lives--and repeatedly confounded the most learned men of the times.
