The Innovators
How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution
Not one genius but a century of collaborators, from Ada Lovelace to the founders of Google, who together built the computer age
A history of the digital revolution that deliberately refuses the lone-genius myth. Isaacson starts with Ada Lovelace and runs through Alan Turing, the transistor, the microchip, the personal computer and the internet, showing at each step that the breakthroughs came from collaboration and the right teams at the right moment. It is a group biography of the people who built the machine you are reading this on.
