    Hi there,

    I’m searching for books that tell the story of someone or something that invented something. It should be an inspiring story (non-fiction)

    Something like:
    – „The Innovators“ by Walter Isaacson
    – „The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation“ by Jon Gertner

    Thank you for any suggestions!

    1. Temple Grandin is an autistic person who is known for designing slaughter houses and making them less stressful for the animals and ethical in their killing. Just about any biography or autobiographical work she has written about herself covers it.

    2. *Surely Your Joking Mr Feynman* possibly only partially fits that description BUT it is AMAZING

    3. ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ by Nelson Mandela is a powerful autobiography that I often recommend. Mandela’s journey from political prisoner to president embodies the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the fight for justice and equality.
