Konrad Zuse is one of the great pioneers of the computer age. He
created thefirst fully automated, program controlled, freely
programmable computer using binary floating-point calculation. It
was operational in 1941. He built his first machines in Berlin
during the Second World War, with bombs falling all around, and
after the war he built up a company that was taken over by Siemens
in 1967. Zuse was an inventor in the traditional style, full of
phantastic ideas, but also gifted with a powerful analytical mind.
Single-handedly, he developed one of the first programming
languages, the Plan Calculus, including features copied only
decades later in other languages. He wrote numerousbooks and
articles and won many honors and awards. This is his autobiography,
written in an engagingly lively and pleasant style, full of
anecdotes, reminiscences, and philosophical asides. It traces his
life from his childhood in East Prussia, through tense wartime
experiences and hard times building up his business after the war,
to a ripe old age andwell-earned celebrity.
