“When I wrote The Living Room Heist, I kept circling back to one quiet thought: every great invention starts with disbelief. Television was never supposed to work. It was a flicker, a parlor trick, a waste of airwaves. Yet somehow, that flicker became a fire.”
What struck me most wasn’t just the technology — it was the defiance. Farnsworth sketching circuits in a potato field. Sarnoff scheming in boardrooms. Millions of families who didn’t yet know they’d trade their radios for rabbit ears and static.
The story isn’t really about screens. It’s about persistence. About the people who keep tuning in even when no one else can hear the signal.
