About this listen

He didn’t invent the lightbulb. He industrialized invention itself. Thomas Edison was more than a tinkerer with a bright idea. He was the architect of a new kind of genius—one branded, patented, and mass-produced.

From Menlo Park to the Motion Picture Trust, this book peels back the layers of the myth and exposes the machine behind the man.

Edison isn’t just a biography. It’s a blueprint. A story of how modern innovation was wired, sold, and mythologized—and why we’re still living in its current.
