"A fascinating history of the unexpected intersection of science, technology and show business." <br>-John Steele Gordon, author of <i> Hamilton's Blessing</i> "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, <i>Madness in the Making</i> will give pleasure and inspire debate." <br>-Edward Tenner. Author of <i>Why Things Bite Back</i>
