THE INNOVATORS

Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, The Innovators is Walter Isaacson's biographical story of the pioneers of the computer and the Internet. It is destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution and a guide to how innovation really works.

The computer and the Internet are among the most important inventions of our era, but few people know who created them. They were not conjured up in a garret or garage by solo inventors. Instead, most innovations of the digital age were made collaboratively. There were a lot of fascinating people involved, some ingenious and a few even geniuses. This is the story of these pioneers, hackers, and entrepreneurs—how their minds worked and what made them so creative. It's also a narrative of how their ability to work as teams made them even more creative.

Staff Review:
From the author of Steve Jobs, Isaacson retraced the trailblazers of digital revolution while not making history complicated. Simple words and style of storytelling help us appreciate the ways and lives of those who helped shape the digital world we are experiencing today. I try not to give out too much detail, it is best to read the book by yourself.
