SUMMARY
It was the size of a three-bedroom apartment, weighed 30 tons, and cost nearly half a million dollars to build-and $650 an hour to run. But in 1945, this behemoth was the cutting edge in technology, and a herald of the digital age to come. This "little gem of a book"* tells the story of this machine and the men who built it-as well as the secrecy, controversy, jealousy, and lawsuits that surrounded it-in a compelling "real-life techno-thriller."--Minneapolis Star TribuneMcCartney, Scott is the author of 'Eniac' with ISBN 9780425176443 and ISBN 0425176444.
