Computers now impact almost every aspect of our lives, from our
social interactions to the safety and performance of our cars. How
did this happen in such a short time? And this is just the
beginning. . . . In this book, Tony Hey and Gyuri Papay lead us on
a journey from the early days of computers in the 1930s to the
cutting-edge research of the present day that will shape computing
in the coming decades. Along the way, they explain the ideas behind
hardware, software, algorithms, Moore's Law, the birth of the
personal computer, the Internet and the Web, the Turing Test,
Jeopardy's Watson, World of Warcraft, spyware, Google, Facebook,
and quantum computing. This book also introduces the fascinating
cast of dreamers and inventors who brought these great
technological developments into every corner of the modern world.
This exciting and accessible introduction will open up the universe
of computing to anyone who has ever wondered where his or her
smartphone came from."
