[sdiy] Turing's Cathedral

[Dan Snazelle]

Written by Freeman Dyson's son George, this book tells the story of the birth of the IAS (princeton inst for advncd study) computer....


Tons of anctedotes about electronics, shift registers, flip-flops, (cathode ray) memory, as well as great stories of von neuman, einstein, turing, godel, IAS, etc


Probrably the best book I read all year


If you like science or history or the origins of computers, run out and get this.
