What The Critics Say

“I loved this book! There were so many inventions I’d never heard of. I only wish I’d read it before I started my museum.”

Dr. Samuel West, Founder, Museum of Failure

"White Elephant Technology is a fascinating look at the wild, wacky, and downright weird contraptions concocted by inventors who couldn't leave well enough alone. Flying tanks, flying bikes, flying cars, swimming cars, train-planes, plane-trains, even a rail Zeppelin. They're dissected with a wit so dry you can almost hear the hapless tinkerers as they utter, 'Back to the drawing board!'"

Stuart Elliott, former New York Times advertising columnist
