"Bell ranks among the world's greatest invenotrs, a far-seeing genius who changed the way we communicate. Reluctant Genius draws us effortlessly into the high-stakes arena of nineteenth-century invention, when eager scientists rushed to patent new-fangled ideas, and Samuel Morse's telegraph was opening up the world in ways never before imagined. But how could Alec Bell, an unknown teacher of the deaf, newly arrived in America, hope to compete, when he lacked both the social connections and even the mental stability to bring his inventions to fruition?".
