Everyone has heard the name Steve Jobs, but what about Nolan
Bushnell--Jobs's boss before the invention of Apple, and the
founder of the first major video game, Pong? Many of the most
relevant figures in tech history still remain in the shadows, but
not any longer! From Alan Katz's new middle-grade series, Awesome
Achievers in Technology gives kids a look behind-the-scenes at the
inventors whose contributions to tech are personally relevant to
their lives today. Each figure is given a traditional biography but
is also subject to Katz's silliness, with humorous elements such as
imagined poems, song lyrics, and diary entries by the not-so-famous
figure accompanying each bio. Kids will laugh as they learn about
12 current and historic unsung heroes of tech, and funny spot
illustrations throughout add to the lighthearted and appreciative
humor each figure receives. Reluctant readers and budding tech
enthusiasts alike will delight in this imaginative and engaging
introduction to a new series of laugh out loud biographies.
