The History of the Computer: People, Inventions, and Technology that Changed Our World Hardcover – 17 May 2022

Rachel Ignotofsky has written and illustrated a breezy book about computer history for teens. Nicely up to date with references to AI, big data and the power of tech companies. A feature I liked are the historical pages about influential people. It's easy to accept the pc and internet but clever folk were behind all of this and I wasn't familiar with several individuals who created the technical and commercial aspects of computers.The entire book is illustrated, there are no photos and each spread is probably fifty percent graphics and text. The ideal book for anyone who has a curiosity about something we all take for granted now. You can look inside the book at Westread Book Reviews then click 2024 and November.

Concise & well researched. Suitable for young teenagers who have an interest in Computers & gaming.
