Award-winning author/illustrator Don Brown explores computers and technology in this exciting installment of the Big Ideas That Changed the World graphic novel series.
Machines That Think! explores machines from ancient history to today that perform a multitude of tasks, from making mind-numbing calculations to working on assembly lines to guiding spaceships to the moon.
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.
