Recenzii

A vivid biography of 'the father of the computer' Charles Babbage [1791-1871] whose life's work was to construct a machine that would carry out complex mathematical calculations without human intervention. The only technology available to him was the cogwheel escapement found inside clocks and the story of his untiring efforts make for a triumph of ingenuity, will and imagination.
