内容简介
······
Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, The Innovators is Walter Isaacson’s revealing story of the people who created the computer and the Internet. It is destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution and an indispensable guide to how innovation really happens.
What were the talents that allowed certain inventors and entrepreneurs to turn their visionary ideas into disruptive realities? What led to their creative leaps? Why did some succeed and others fail?
In his masterly saga, Isaacson begins with Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s. He explores the fascinating personalities that created our current digital revolution, such as Vannevar Bush, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, J.C.R. Licklider, Doug Engelbart, Robert Noyce, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee, and Larry Page.
This is the story of how their minds worked and what made them so inventive. It’s also a narrative of how their ability to collaborate and master the art of teamwork made them even more creative.
For an era that seeks to foster innovation, creativity, and teamwork, The Innovators shows how they happen.

Ada Lovelace
一部讲述个人电脑和互联网起源的书。个人电脑和互联网的起源主要体现了三种创新方式，由政府资助的科研项目，私有企业的创新，和开源社区的创新。三种创新方式的相辅相成，正是导致今日互联网生机无限的源泉。
阅读《The Innovators》是一个愉悦惊喜的过程。不仅因为作者的叙事功力深厚，也因为这段历史本来就足够让人兴奋。作者关于科学和艺术结合的观点，以及人机交互和人工智能的观点，深以为然。
唯一提到中国的地方是说百度，还号称谷歌的劲敌。。
