The 20th century has been a time of unparalleled technological innovation. Science may have provided the fuel, but business was the engine that drove the epic shift from the Machine Age to the Digital Age. This is an account of the dreamers and schemers who shaped the way we live our lives today.

The last half of the 20th century been a time of unparalleled technological innovation. The sheer power and mobility that technology has made available to millions of people around the world surpasses anything we could have dreamed of 50 years ago. Most historians of the high-tech revolution tend to focus on the exploits of men and women of scientific genius, invoking names such as Babbage, von Neuman, and Turing. But as this account shows, while science may have provided the fuel, business was the engine that drove the epic shift from the Machine Age to the Digital Age. Jeffrey Young introduces the dreamers and schemers, the visionaries and moguls, the huge successes and the audacious also-rans whose pioneering efforts shaped the way we live our lives today.

JEFFREY YOUNG was formerly a business technology reporter for Forbes, Forbes ASAP, and Forbes Digital Tool. He is the author of Steve Jobs: The Journey is the Reward.
