About the author
Born in England in 1888, Archibald Montgomery Low built a career that crossed engineering, physics, invention, and writing. He is widely remembered for pioneering work on radio-guided craft and is often associated with some of the earliest practical steps toward unmanned aircraft.
Alongside his technical work, he wrote prolifically for general readers. His books helped make complex scientific ideas feel approachable, and his interests ranged across aviation, electronics, television, and the possibilities of the future.
Low died in 1956. For listeners coming to his books today, part of the appeal is that mix of solid technical curiosity and bold imagination: he wrote like someone who genuinely believed science would keep changing everyday life.
