A gadget is a small technological object, considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technology at the time of its invention. Mimicking the electronic nature and blinking lights of a new gadget on display, this brilliant and fun work conveys a sense of wonder and futuristic innovation characteristic of the mid-2oth century.

Sure to be a hit with your students and audience, and features a fantastic cover!
