Walter Isaacson writes biography as a study of how breakthroughs actually happen, and Code Breakers continues that method with the people behind a defining modern technology.
Isaacson's earlier subjects include Steve Jobs, Leonardo da Vinci and the scientist Jennifer Doudna, and the same approach carries here: character first, then the collaborations, rivalries and accidents that turn an idea into something the world uses. The narrative stays readable for non-specialists, explaining technical ground only as far as the story needs, and keeping attention on temperament, ambition and the working relationships that decide which discoveries move forward.
What you'll find in these pages:
• Narrative non-fiction in the biographical tradition Isaacson is known for
• Explains technical material in terms a general reader can follow
• Attention to collaboration, rivalry and the culture around innovation
• A Simon and Schuster edition suited to readers of popular science and history
For readers who follow innovation, biography and the history of technology, this title is available at Boipoka.
