The Silicon Eye by George Gilder

The story of an idea slightly head of its time and a clever technology surpassed by a lesser brute force solution. It is interesting that the brain's solution to sight is better but the more digital solution is easier and, given less constraints, cheaper. Very reminiscent of Soul of a New Machine, which chronicles very smart people succeeding but failing as well.
