As we stand on the threshold of quantum communications, space-based internet, and technologies that seemed impossible just decades ago, Invisible Waves reveals why understanding radio’s past is essential to navigating our wireless future. The invisible waves carrying our voices, data, and dreams continue to transform our world—and their most remarkable chapters are yet to be written.

A fascinating blend of scientific discovery, technological innovation, and human ambition that brings the hidden world of radio to life.
