Description
The remarkable, human story of the birth of modern computing. Dyson vividly recreates the intense experimentation, incredible mathematical insight and pure creative genius at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, 1945. These pioneering scientists saw their project as a realization of Turing's theoretical 'universal machine.'
