In this autobiography, James Dyson interweaves his own
life story with a wider exploration of the importance of
invention. On the way, the reader encounters challenging
and inspirational characters, radical inventions,
adventurous engineering, cultural fads, political
gamesmanship, legal battles and much else besides.
Invention: A Life Through Failure is a 21st century call
to arms: creative invention through the research, design
and manufacture of technologies and products empowers not
only employees and employers, but the economy at large,
while the very acts of imagining, shaping and making
things enriches our lives. James Dyson sees people as
producers as well as consumers, the inventing and making
of things part of a natural instinct. Invention is a
lifelong commitment. It has been James Dyson's life.
