The Wizards Who Gave Us Power, with Eric Brach

Joining today: journalist and co-author of Conquering the Electron: the Geniuses, Visionaries, Egomaniacs, and Scoundrels who Built our Electronic Age, Eric Brach Most of the crew is off and away for the holidays, so I thought it might be a fun treat to revisit one of my earliest episodes from a previous show. Back then, I was focused almost entirely on authors and their work. So I created In Character to reflect how the people who write our favorite stories often have unusual tales of their own. Eric was an awesome first guest to have on the show: full of thoughts and insights on the technological wizards who gave us power (as well as our constant expectation for new devices and growth). - J You can follow Eric online at Twitter (@ebrachwrites) or Instagram (@brachobama). You can also find his book, Double Lives: True Tales of Crime Next Door, on Amazon.com and other online stores.
