A quite comprehensive review of the history of computing, from Ada Lovelace's 19th century musings about artificial intelligence to the creation of Watson; and pretty much everything in between including the inventions of the transistor and capacitor, the microchip, the Web and Wikipedia. Isaacson does a good job of putting the story together including the intrigue that happened along the way including some bitter patent disputes. This makes me want to read the author's biography of Steve Jobs.
