Product description
Opis z tylnej okładki książki
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.

What makes innovation and innovators
Opinia napisana w Wielkiej Brytanii dnia 31 stycznia 2024
Walter Isaacson is a acclaimed biographer, and this book is about brief biographies of innovators, and their innovations, focusing on the digital world.
We start with Ada, Countess of Lovelace, who arguably wrote the first program. Her work was based on Charles Babbage's difference and analytical engines, primitive computers. General-purpose, digital, electronic, binary computers came later, and were assisted by inventions like the transistor and microchip. Then innovations arising from computers: networks, the Internet, the web. Isaacson presciently ends the book with a short discussion about AI.
Throughout the book, Isaacson asks what fosters innovation. And there are some general strands. People working collaboratively, in areas which encouraged it, ideally with diverse skillsets. Examples: Jobs and Wozniak (Apple), Bardeen and Brattain (transistor). The right motivation, whether that is military / government funding (ENIAC), private enterprise (Microsoft) or open source (GNU / Linux). And building off previous ideas and innovations.
A really interesting book, if you want a history and exploration of the digital age, which is obviously still unfolding.
