A portrait of the controversial Nobel Prize-winning scientist documents his invention of the transistor and role in the founding of Silicon Valley before his beliefs about remedial education, race, and the sterilization of low-intelligence individuals destroyed his reputation. Reprint.
This is the first biography of William Shockley, founding father of Silicon Valley - one of the most significant and reviled scientists of the 20th century. Drawing upon unique access to the private Shockley archives, veteran technology historian and journalist Joel Shurkin gives an unflinching account of how such promise ended in such ignominy.
