Christopher Evens died before seeing the true future of computers.
I know that the copyright is from 1979 and the author died in 1979. So, he never got to see his predictions.
Yet, he does a rather good description of history. While reading history you come across many interesting things as the Notes by Ada Lovelace. Also, a handful of people that you may have missed in the standard stories and movies. He covers Thomas J. Watson decades before Watson AI.
Even if he missed out on decades of discoveries and improvements, you could count on an informative read of what he found so far. Therefore, this is a timeless book and needs to hold an upfront position in your library.
