The History of the Computer: People, Inventions, and Technology that Changed Our World

My nephew loved this book - lots of facts, nicely illustrated and with a layout that makes a lot of information easier and more enjoyable to read

Not what I expected. I found the book boring at times. Too many repeat items.

Das Buch ist wirklich toll aufgebaut und illustriert. Ich als Informatiker habe sogar noch 2-3 Sachen gelesen wo ich so direkt nicht wusste - Das kam gut für meine Webseite :)

This is what i wanted thanks to the author and publisher.

This book was a find, and now I assign it to my college students every semester. This is simply the best, most accessible book on the history of computing that I've found. It acknowledges the contributions of thousands of people, particularly women and minorities, over the course of generations, each building upon the work of others. Don't let the art fool you. The fact that the is illustrated disguises how dense and well researched it is. There is serious scholarship here. People need to read and understand: this is the story of our times.
