This is the story of how the mobile phone entered our lives and changed everything. In just a few decades, we left behind a stationary, slow world where people had to stay in certain places and use clumsy, fixed devices to communicate with the world around them.

This is the inside story of how mobile telephony was developed and how such a small device could change the world so radically.
