From the Author
A simple question leads to a fascinating journey
When I was covering the personal computer industry for The Wall Street Journal, a simple question was put to me: Who invented the first computer? Answering that question became a thrilling journey. What I found was that the invention of the first modern computer was a gripping tale, and the inventors themselves, who also founded the first computer company, were inexplicably and unjustifiably forgotten. I was fortunate enough to uncover new documents and long-forgotten records that bring new clarity to the story. I even got to hunt through dusty boxes of personal papers and childhood toys of the inventors--material never before available to historians or journalists. The result, I hope, is a book that not only entertains and educates, but also clarifies the much-debated origins of the computer and brings some redemption for those unjustifiably stripped of proper credit.
