About the book
In under a century, computing went from machines the size of rooms to a computer in every pocket, and remade work, communication and daily life along the way. Behind the processors and the software, it is a deeply human story — of inventors, accidents, rivalries and improbable bets.
One hundred entries tell it as narrative: the abacus and the first calculating machines, Turing, the transistor, the mouse, the internet, the free software revolution of Stallman and Torvalds, the smartphone, and the arrival of generative AI. Each day lights up one invention or one figure who built the digital world.
No technical jargon — just the pleasure of knowing where the revolution around you came from.
