One that manipulated sound, created an unbreakable code and confounded the Nazi regime, giving the allies the advantage they needed to claim victory. Scientists called it \u201cSpread Spectrum\u201d technology. The military called it a \u201csecret communication system.\u201d Today, we call it a \u201ccell phone,\u201d \u201cWi-Fi\u201d and a little thing called \u201cInternet.\u201d This is the story of a genius.
