Computer: A History of the Information Machine traces the history
of the computer and its unlimited, information-processing
potential. Comprehensive and accessibly written, this fully updated
fourth edition adds new chapters on the globalization of
information technology, the rise of social media, fake news, and
the gig economy, and the regulatory frameworks being put in place
to tame the ubiquitous computer. Computer is an insightful look at
the pace of technological advancement and the seamless way
computers are integrated into the modern world. The authors examine
the history of the computer including the first steps taken by
Charles Babbage in the nineteenth century, and how wartime needs
and the development of electronics led to the giant ENIAC, the
first electronic computer. For a generation IBM dominated the
computer industry. In the 1980s, the desktop PC liberated people
from room-sized, mainframe computers. Next, laptops and smartphones
made computers available to half of the world's population, leading
to the rise of Google and Facebook, and powerful apps that changed
the way we work, consume, learn, and socialize. The volume is an
essential resource for scholars and those studying computer
history, technology history, and information and society, as well
as a range of courses in the fields of computer science,
communications, sociology, and management.

In the year 2200, a team of teenage scientists are sent on a
terraforming mission to a distant planet. Selected as the best and
brightest of their generation, architect Jonas, botanist Marnie,
biologist Jane, engineers Anya and Kamari, and security detail Kurt
are all put into cryostasis expected to wake up when it is time to
prepare to land on their assigned planet. When they are awakened
abruptly, ten years early, halted above a strange planet, the teens
are tasked with trying to figure out why they're stalled - or what
stalled them. As they break into two teams, one tasked with fixing
the ship, the other with exploring the unknown planet below,
they're faced with an increasingly nightmarish scenario as they
encounter a cosmic horror that seems to not only have attacked
their ship, but also their minds. Collects issues 1 - 5.
