B C, Before Computers

Meer over het boek

Challenging the notion of a singular technological rupture in the mid-twentieth century, this work explores the gradual evolution of human thought and invention leading up to the digital age. It traces the history of information technologies from early data processing to the origins of writing systems, weaving together significant milestones in a non-linear narrative. The book emphasizes the cumulative learning and adaptation required before society could fully embrace the information technology revolution.
