Walter Isaacson
2015 Audie Award Finalist for Non-Fiction
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 did you like best about this story?
As ICST (Information & Communication Science & Technology) professionals, we sometimes might have an inferiority complex towards the longer-established disciplines such as physics and mathematics. Part of the difference lies in the narratives that have been built around the "great men" of these sciences, from Pascal, Descartes, Newton, Leibniz to Einstein and Stephen Hawking. This book makes up for the difference by contributing to build this narrative around a few of the great men (and women) of Information & Communication Science and Technology. Not all of them arelarger than life figures, or true geniuses, but they probably contributed to the progress of humanity more closely and directly than their forebears in the physical and mathematical sciences. They deserve to be honored and this honor should extend to all scientists and engineers who dedicate their life to this domain.An epic narrative of ICT

Other reviewers have detailed the content. Even if you think you know the history of the computer age you probably don't. I thought I knew about the people who have shaped the digital revolution, but I did not know half of the detail contained in this book. It is detail that can bring history to life or bog it down.
Some authors can bore you with details. Others just have the knack for telling a story in detail and making the story enjoyable. I particularly found it interesting how the attitude, motives and methods of the mother of Ada of Lovelace in providing for the education of her daughter laid a foundation for the computer revolution to come more than 100 years later.
I listened to this book while taking a daily four mile walk. This book is so good that I wanted to keep on walking each day.
