It includes fascinating looks at the world’s earliest calculators, the birth of computer programming, and the arrival of smartphones. Contributors discussed include Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, and Bill Gates.
From the abacus to artificial intelligence, machines through the ages have pushed the boundaries of human capability and creativity.
