Finally, Computers simplified
Want to understand the workings of a computer and its history with great illustrations, buy this book.Don’t do kindle, you need the art work. From here, I was able to google details.A must read for anyone who has agonized about what has happened over a hundred years and all that is in a motherboard. Breakthrough for me, a financial writer for 57 years

College Level Textbook Dressed as a Cartoon
This book was a find, and now I assign it to my college students every semester. This is simply the best, most accessible book on the history of computing that I’ve found. It acknowledges the contributions of thousands of people, particularly women and minorities, over the course of generations, each building upon the work of others. Don’t let the art fool you. The fact that the is illustrated disguises how dense and well researched it is. There is serious scholarship here. People need to read and understand: this is the story of our times.

Beautiful and informative!
This book was such a treat! I am a long time tech nerd and this book is filled with accurate and informative graphics that celebrate computer history. My nephew loves this book and can’t put it down. He is learning so much and we are having a lot of fun talking about this book together. The illustrations are so impressive. It is a total slam dunk!

I purchased this book for a newly 7 yr old boy who loves learning how things work. I knew mom or dad would be reading it with him, and all three give this book 5 Stars. Older sister (11) gave it a read as well and used it for a school project. I ended up purchasing another for my teaching library and and my students love it as well.
