Klappentext:
Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, The Innovatorsis Walter Isaacson\'s story of the people who created 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.

In his exciting saga, Isaacson begins with Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron\'s daughter, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s.
