The Innovators
How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution
Ada’s Score
Walter Isaacson traces the history of the digital revolution by focusing on the collaborative teams and visionary individuals who made it possible — from Ada Lovelace to Steve Jobs. Rather than celebrating lone geniuses, Isaacson argues that creativity at the intersection of arts and science, combined with teamwork, drove each major technological leap. The book is sweeping in scope yet intimate in its character studies. It is an essential primer on how the modern world came to be.

The Dreamers Who Built the Digital World
What I love about Walter Isaacson's The Innovators is that it refuses to give us the lone genius myth. Instead, he shows us the collaborations, the rivalries, the late nights and lucky accidents that gave us computers and the internet. If you've ever wondered how we got from Ada Lovelace—my namesake, actually—to the smartphone in your pocket, this is your essential guide.
