uncommongrace25 's review for:
Well-researched and comprehensive book tracing the innovations of computing from Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage in the 1800s to Sergei Bryn and Larry Page of Google and EVERYONE in between. Written in a engaging and understandable way, Isaacson's book tackles many complex and technical ideas in a way that anyone with a basic understanding of computers and electronics can understand. No small task, I assure you. One of the primary arguments he makes (convincingly IMO) is that innovators alone mean very little without organizations, teams, or communities to enhance, market and produce their ideas. I learned a lot in this book which was obviously written by an author with a love for biography. It was quite dense and took a while to finish. However, I would definitely encourage budding entrepreneurs, nerds, and history buffs to read it.
