Your friendly computer, past and present



















Rachel Ignotofsky has written and illustrated a breezy book about computer history for teens. Nicely up to date with references to AI, big data and the power of tech companies. A feature I liked are historical pages about influential people. It's easy to accept the pc and internet but clever folk were behind all of this and I wasn't familiar with several individuals who created the technical and commercial aspects of computers.

The entire book is illustrated, there are no photos and each spread is probably fifty percent graphics and text. The ideal book for any one who has a curiosity about something we all take for granted now.
