Features: Classic stories of the wise. Without a compass, we would lose our way; without a generator, we would be plunged into darkness; without cars, trains, or airplanes, we would not enjoy convenient transportation; without blood transfusion techniques, insulin, or pacemakers, many people would lose their precious lives to diseases. The role that science and technology have played in promoting social progress and human happiness is undeniable. The inventions of geniuses sometimes stem from childhood fantasies, sometimes from children's games, and sometimes from the rewards of exploration. Different people have different methods—some have multiple failures before suddenly having a breakthrough, while others achieve success through indirect approaches. But there is one thing in common: "Genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent inspiration." This is a quote by Edison and also the creed of the 84 short stories in this book.
