Sapristi!! My nerd radar goes crazy in the face of this 472-page book which visually traces the beginnings of computing, its transition from analog to digital, by collecting the testimonies of people who contributed to the emergence and 'interesting in a whole bunch of aborted prototypes.

Not obscuring any of the results of the emergence of IT, whether economic, industrial or sociological, it is a passionate and fascinating book for anyone interested in today's world.
