Description

From handheld smart phones to vast scientific simulators, computers are developing at an ever-increasing speed. Uber-technogeek Mark Frauenfelder traces the evolution of this vital machine from its earliest roots through its exciting application in code-breaking during World War Two, and from its initial use in the workplace and home to its current status as a ubiquitous, integral part of life.

Author Biography:

Mark Frauenfelder is a former editor of Wired, the cutting-edge and award-winning magazine launched in 1993 to cover the digital revolution, and the founding editor-in-chief of Wired Online. In 1988 he and his wife cofounded Boing Boing, a zine about pop culture and fun with technology. Mark wrote a monthly column for Playboy called "Living Online"; was coeditor of The Happy Mutant Handbook (Riverhead Trade), a do-it-yourself handbook for enjoying our media-saturated world; and author of The Mad Professor (Chronicle Books). His articles about technology and culture have appeared in Wired, the New York Times Magazine, Popular Science, MIT Technology Review, Playboy, Business 2.0, and the Industry Standard.
