Lightbulb's Bright History illuminates the captivating narrative of electric light, exploring its evolution from experimental curiosity to a world-altering technology. It wasn't merely an invention; it was a catalyst that reshaped society. The book highlights the intense competition between inventors like Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan, whose race to create a practical incandescent lamp involved not only scientific breakthroughs but also legal battles.

 
Before the lightbulb, our world was dictated by the limited hours of daylight, but this innovation unlocked unprecedented levels of productivity and transformed urban landscapes. The book presents a comprehensive overview, starting with early experiments in electricity, then focusing on the incandescent lamp's development and the societal changes it spurred.

 
It reveals how the electric light enabled the rise of the 24-hour society and fueled the Industrial Revolution, with factories operating around the clock. This history isn't just about technology; it's about the societal impact technology had on economics, urbanization, and daily life. The book progresses chronologically, tracing the development of the lightbulb and its subsequent global adoption.

 
It examines the lightbulb through a socio-technical lens, recognizing the interplay of social, economic, and political forces. By exploring this invention history, the book offers valuable lessons on innovation and its far-reaching consequences, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in history and technology.
