ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Following
his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson’s New York Times
bestselling and critically acclaimed The Innovators is a riveting,
propulsive, and at times deeply moving (The Atlantic) story of the people
who created the computer and the Internet.

What 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?

The Innovators is a masterly saga of collaborative genius destined to be
the standard history of the digital revolution-and an indispensable guide to
how innovation really happens. Isaacson begins the adventure 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.

This 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. For an era that
seeks to foster innovation, creativity, and teamwork, The Innovators is a
sweeping and surprisingly tenderhearted history of the digital age (The New
York Times).
