Една вечер към края на 30 -те години в бар на границата между Илинойс и Айова преподавателят по физика Джон Винсънт Атанасов достига до идеите, които ще му помогнат да създаде първия цифров електронен компютър и да даде началото на информационната революция. Титлата създател на компютъра не може да бъде присъдена само на един учен. Затова и тази книга не е само за Атанасов. От цитираните в нея свидетелства и съдебни решения обаче става ясно, че без неговия пренос историята на компютрите нямаше да е същата и вероятно дигиталната ера щеше да се забави значително.

Смешна книга за ужасни неща. ... Истерично смешна книга за парализираща депресия и тревожност? Звучи като ужасна идея. Но ужасните идеи са точно по специалността на Джени. Или както самата тя казва: Някой може да реши, че да бъдеш "безумно щастлив" е просто извинение да вършиш безотговорни глупости, като да поканиш вкъщи стадо кенгура, без да кажеш на съпруга си, защото подозираш, че той ще ти откаже, понеже никога не си е падал особено по кенгурата. Пък и без това е нелепо да поканиш цяло стадо кенгура, най-много две. Казвам го от личен опит. Но според съпруга ми най-добре било да не каня "нито едно". ... |
