Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, The Innovators is Walter Isaacson’s revealing story of the people who created the computer and the Internet. It is destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution and an indispensable guide to how innovation really happens.
What were the talents that allowed certain inventors and entrepreneurs to turn their visionary ideas into disruptive realities? What led to their creative leaps? Why did some succeed and others fail?
In his masterly saga, Isaacson begins with Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s. He explores the fascinating personalities that created our current digital revolution, such as Vannevar Bush, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, J.C.R. Licklider, Doug Engelbart, Robert Noyce, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee, and Larry Page.
This is the story of how their minds worked and what made them so inventive. It’s also a narrative of how their ability to collaborate and master the art of teamwork made them even more creative.
For an era that seeks to foster innovation, creativity, and teamwork, The Innovators shows how they happen.
Walter Isaacson, the CEO of the Aspen Institute, has been chairman of CNN and the managing editor of Time magazine. He is the author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and of Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and daughter.

评分 评分最后,我发现数字时代的真正创新都是来自那些能够将人文和科学联系在一起的人,这点让我感到十分意外。他们信奉美感的重要性。“小时候我一直都觉得自己是个适合读文科的人,但我喜欢电子设备。”这是乔布斯在我着手筹备他的传记时对我说的一番话,“后来我读到我的偶像,宝丽...
评分 评分一群技术狂人和鬼才程序员如何改变世界? 一开始看到这个副标题,我以为是教程序员怎样去改变世界;翻开之后才发现原来这是一部信息技术的编年史,介绍了近两个世纪以来计算机和互联网的发展历程,以及那些背后推动着的创新者们;看完之后,其实书中借由展示这段科技史,探究“...
唯一提到中国的地方是说百度,还号称谷歌的劲敌。。
评分科技史这种东西还是要懂原理才(最)有趣,前面读得特别慢不停查查查(当然还是不懂,已经开始质疑人生后悔没把EE读下来)后来直接放弃了看看人际关系奇闻趣事好了,可以想象作为一个文科男作者写书时功课应该做得很爽。
评分还行。
评分Think hard about the insights and implications in the book, and do something.
评分一部讲述个人电脑和互联网起源的书。个人电脑和互联网的起源主要体现了三种创新方式,由政府资助的科研项目,私有企业的创新,和开源社区的创新。三种创新方式的相辅相成,正是导致今日互联网生机无限的源泉。
