That book sounds interesting! Could you share a link?

Maybe this one:

The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Idea_Factory

Yes, this one!
Thanks!
Probably not the same book, but the guy who developed Hamming codes (his name was Hamming obviously) wrote a stupendous book that talks a lot about his time at Bell called The Art and Science of Doing Engineering
Well it looks like I've now got two "stupendous" books to read :-)
