520    "Beginning in the 1950s, a group of academics, 
       businesspeople, and politicians set out on an ambitious 
       project to remake North Carolina's low-wage economy. They 
       pitched the universities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel 
       Hill as the kernel of a tech hub, Research Triangle Park, 
       which would lure a new class of highly educated workers. 
       In the process, they created a blueprint for what would 
       become known as the knowledge economy: a future built on 
       intellectual labor and the production of intellectual 
       property. Alex Sayf Cummings reveals the significance of 
       Research Triangle Park to the emergence of the high-tech 
       economy in a postindustrial United States. She analyzes 
       the use of ideas of culture and creativity to fuel 
       economic development, how workers experienced life in the 
       Triangle, and the role of the federal government in 
       bringing the modern technology industry into being. As 
       Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill were transformed by high-
       tech development, the old South gave way to a distinctly 
       new one, which welded the intellectual power of 
       universities to a vision of the suburban good life. 
       Cummings pinpoints how the story of the Research Triangle 
       sheds new light on the origins of today's urban landscape,
       in which innovation, as exemplified by the tech industry, 
       is lauded as the engine of economic growth against a 
       backdrop of gentrification and inequality. Placing the 
       knowledge economy in a broader cultural and intellectual 
       context, Brain Magnet offers vital insight into how tech-
       driven development occurs and the people and places left 
       in its wake"--|cProvided by publisher.
