商品簡介
In 1937, Bell Labs physicist George Stibitz grew tired of endless manual calculations. His solution? He built the world's first binary adder-the "Model K"-using scrap metal and phone relays, right on his kitchen table. He wasn't aiming for history; he was just aiming for ease.
That humble device sparked a technological revolution.
The Accidental Architect of the Digital Age is the definitive biography of the pragmatic genius who engineered the mechanical ancestors of the modern computer. It chronicles Stibitz's pivotal work developing the pioneering Bell Labs relay calculators, including the colossal Model V, and reveals the untold story of his 1940 demonstration that effectively invented remote computing decades before the internet.
But Stibitz's journey didn't end in the lab. Frustrated by corporate life, he became a quiet pioneer of biomathematics, applying his computational brilliance to model the human body.
Discover the remarkable life of the man who quietly laid the foundation for our networked world, proving that true innovation often begins not in a high-tech facility, but with simple necessity and the click of a relay switch. Approx.164 pages, 29100 word count
