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.

Very interesting book for those interested in the advance of computer science

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 26 agosto 2019

We have all heard of the famouse people that have driven electronic products for the masses in recent years. This book also highlights the unsung heroes that also made contributions either as individuals of more importantly as part of a team. Improvements in electronics that everyone now takes for granted has been done incrementally over many years with very few earth shattering individual moments. As with cars we didn't go from a Model T Ford to a modern Formula 1 car overnight. A lot of small improvements happened in between.

Superb summary of the history of the computer and computer science

Walter has an open and engaging style that engages immediately. I have found myself quoting and sending quotes from the kindle version of this book to my family more than on anything else I have read. Thanks for bringing together art and science and highlighting the fantastic opportunities ahead of us if we work with artificial intelligence instead of competing with it.

Well worth a read.

P.S. The section on Wiki’s also encouraged me to write this review and contribute, very convincing!

Importantly left out Plato

Not sure how this oversight made it through but the system that first took the flat screen and touchscreen idea into actual use is left out here. University of Illinois's Plato, as well as a terminal was also a networked system that at one time was briefly larger than the Arpanet and certainly more open. I mean, there's a chapter on the Internet! Come on! Otherwise a good book.

What a wonderfully connected storytelling - Isaacson really takes you through the various branches of innovations that have led to the digital life we have today. Without getting boring for a second, he walks one through an interconnected culture of hackers that was intent on prodding things, often producing results that they didn't set out to get.

My one gripe with the narrative is that it does get a little repetitive at times from a format perspective (new tech -> innovator -> childhood and growing up -> what led to the innovation etc) but that can hardly be avoided in a book of this nature.

The fact that he starts from Ada Lovelace and Babbage and takes us all the way through to the present day in one book is really incredible.

Interesting and insightful

Great whistlestop history of the milestones that have allowed us to reach great heights as a species. Also refreshing to see the common themes of collaboration and the way all innovation is the tip of an ever growing stack of innovations that came before it. A real human team effort. Final point, I did a computer science degree in the 90's and something this book shows which my degree didn't is the massive contribution the ladies made to the field even back in the beginning when they were generally discouraged from dabbling in what was considered a man world. Long Live Ada!
