Read it:

Tokyo, 1944 to 1961. An engineer of thirty-six and a naval lieutenant of twenty-three meet over a heat-seeking weapon that never works, and after the surrender set up a repair bench on the burned third floor of a department store in Nihonbashi. They try a rice cooker that does not cook rice and a heating pad they sell under a false name. Then they build Japan's first tape recorder, price it at more than two years of a graduate's pay, and find that almost nobody in a ruined country wants one. What this history turns on is the distance between a product that exists and a customer who exists, and what these two men did inside that distance. Covers Masaru Ibuka, Akio Morita, and Sony.
