Hedy Lamarr and a Secret Communication System explores the remarkable life of Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr, who was not only an iconic actress but also an inventor. The book details her groundbreaking contributions to technology, particularly her work on frequency-hopping spread spectrum communication. This invention, initially created during World War II to help the Allies communicate securely, laid the groundwork for modern wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Through her story, readers discover how Lamarr's ingenuity and determination broke barriers in both film and science, highlighting her as a pioneer whose legacy extends far beyond the silver screen.
