The Innovators By Walter Isacsson
Review
‘Mr Isaacson excels at explaining complex concept…which make this a good history of computing for non-geeks’ —The Economist
‘Isaacson is the ideal narrator of the wider story, stopping at all the important stages in the digital revolution’ –Literary Review
‘As Matthew Winioski declared in the Washington Post: “History at this scale tends towards either encyclopaedia or determinist manifesto, a fate Isaacson avoids by using his talent for stories to shift between romance novel, operating manual, legal briefing, memoir and humanist sermon”‘ –The Oldie
