If you're looking for a simplified overview of computer development and it's founding scientists works and a really in depth view of egos within the computing world, look no further than here!
The title and back plate of the book is a little more than a bit misleading about what this book is about. it's not so much about computers as it is about conspiracy, pride, and telling the story from a few of a select few early computer scientists and engineers. I wasn't impressed, but I can't say I didn't learn anything either.
