There are remarkably few books on the recent history of computing.... The strength of this book lies in its comprehensive coverage of the myriad of technical developments leading up to what was, in effect, the modern main-frame computer. Almost all the most interesting computers of the period are described.... No one has yet done any better, or anywhere near as well in tackling the subject.
--NatureYali Amit is Professor of Statistics and Computer Science at the University of Chicago.
