SUMMARY:Walter Isaacson
DESCRIPTION:The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers\, Geniuses\, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution is Isaacson’s revealing story of the people who created the computer and the Internet\, as well as a guide to how innovation really happens. \nWhat 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? \nIsaacson 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. \nThis 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. \nIsaacson is the CEO of the Aspen Institute and has been chairman of CNN and the managing editor of Time magazine.
