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

We’ve been working through this book with our 4-year-old and we’ve all been learning something new and really engaging with it.

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.

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.

Concise & well researched. Suitable for young teenagers who have an interest in Computers & gaming.
