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.

读后感

这本书最大的特点在于它的结构，最终也赢在了这种结构。作为一部关于信息技术的史书，其实可以选择的构建范式是有限的，无非是编年体，或者是纪传体，但是作者偏偏不肯就范，充分发挥了自己作为一名成功传记作家的功力，硬生生闯出来一条新路，让自己脚踏两只船，像一只轻盈的...  

首先，也是最重要的，创造力是一个合作的过程。 这本书也许会激励每位读者都力争成为一个创新者——寻找到自己的乐趣，并且投身于其中，并为此而度过有意义的一生。或者这也是一种诗意的人生。 古往今来，无数事实说明，在集体面前，个人永远是渺小的。越是高精尖的技术，越是...  

不能看完才想到写，那样显得工程量大容易干脆不写了。所以边看边写点…… 计算机技术最早肯定是得益于数学和以数学为专长的人。 维多利亚时期的英国强盛至极，便有了开此技术之光的氛围。所以追溯起源，便是19世纪上半叶。 “二战”时期是重要的契机，以英美两国为主导，主要是...  

如果说在如今的世界中，有什么是深入渗透入人们生活中的科技与产品，那么非计算机、手机以及衍生产品莫属。在这些产品在便利了我们的生活，引导着我们的娱乐，占用了我们的时间的同时，也带来了过多的非议，是否我们面对着冰冷屏幕就远离了现实的社群关系，计算机究竟为我们每...

还行。

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。

好看。
