Recenzii
Fantastic! This is an excellent romp through early computer history, placing Alan Turing's work in a broader context and introducing the reader to some of the significant machines and personalities that created our digital world. The myth of a lone inventor is rarely true - this book leads the reader through complex but intriguing stories of the sung and unsung heroes and machines of a pioneering computing industry. -- Dr Tilly Blyth Science Museum There can be no doubt that Alan Turing was a brilliant man who changed the course of history in countless ways, but there were many other brilliant minds involved in bringing computer science to life and ultimately into our homes. This fascinating book reminds us of the importance of their contribution. A fitting tribute to those who gave the world so much. -- Kate Russell BBC Click A practical, clearly written tour through those early years. -- Erica Wagner The Times
Descriere
Secret wartime projects in areas such as code-breaking, radar, and ballistics produced a wealth of ideas and technologies that kick-started the development of digital computers. This is the story of the people and projects that flourished in the post-war period.
