”There has never been a better time to be a nerd. In the past century we've seen a continuous transfer of power from dealmakers to technicians — from the charismatic to the competent — and I don't see anything on the horizon that will end it.”

George Westinghouse was an inventor. So was Thomas Edison. You can think of both as “fierce nerds” in my book.
