This graphic novel covers the life of Hedy Lamarr, from beginning to end. Lamarr was an interesting, and very complex woman. I'm glad she's now remembered for the fact she invented the technology behind WiFi, rather than her scandalous life. It was also interesting to find out that the US gov rejected her invention during WWII. It did make me laugh, because now WiFi is legitimately everywhere.
The art was also pretty cool, so that made it enjoyable as well.
