The Innovators

This book deserves all the hype and myriad accolades touted in the press - it's a GREAT READ.

Accessible, clear, simple and compelling, “The Innovators” is a great historical survey of the names and personalities behind many of the big technological advances of our time, particularly in computer science.

Ever wonder why it's called Silicon Valley? Curious if Al Gore really DID invent the Internet? Want to know who made the first computer? It's all in there, along with some interesting insights for managers and leaders (if on the lookout). Highly recommended!
