The Innovators by Walter Isaacson | Conversation Starters
Limited Time $3.99 ($4.99)
The Innovators is a historical overview of the beginning of computer science to present superstructures, like quantum computers. The author seeks to understand the results of symbiosis between man and the computing machine. It is a magnificent demystification of the modern age and the technology at our fingertips, as well as a worldwide overview of how the modern information age unfolded. With almost five hundred pages in twelve topically cascading chapters, the author gives us what is now called “a standard history of digital revolution” along with a fantastic series of biographies.
The Innovators by Walter Isaacson is referred to as, “A masterful book” by The San Francisco Chronicle. Financial Times offered what might be the most capturing description of this short history of computing science when they said the book was a ‘’tour d’ horizon of computer age.’’
EVERY GOOD BOOK CONTAINS A WORLD FAR DEEPER
than the surface of its pages. The characters and its world come alive,
and even after the last page of the book is closed,
the story still lives on, inciting questions and curiosity.
Conversation Starters is peppered with questions designed to
bring us beneath the surface of the page
and invite us into this world that continues to lives on.

4.5 stars Fascinating look into the evolution of the computer and the internet. Lots of interesting details. Very informative. But I would have liked to see more connections, interactions and impacts of the various innovators in recent years. Issacson ends his book on the possibilities of an AI Singularity. It would have been nice to get his thoughts on human enhancement or augmentation or even something about cyborgs.

Honestly took me a while to get through it. Very cool information but didn't find myself on the edge of my seat. Still, very cool book.
