It's a museum exhibit of sorts, held between covers.", ...a monumental survey... The Computer is a richly illustrated history of society's ever-evolving relationship with the silicon chip., [This] history of how we went from the calculating machines of the 19th century to the miniature wearable tech of today is packed with visionaries and pioneers., [This] history of how we went from the calculating machines of the 19th century to the miniature wearable tech of today is packed with visionaries and pioneers. Where will the computing revolution take us next?, The Computer lays out, in glorious detail, the last 300 years of technological progress, and the figures and groups behind it., ...an engaging and visually captivating book that takes readers on a journey through the evolution of computing and its profound impact on society.

Tracing the stories of tech visionaries, pioneers, and entrepreneurs , the book combines compelling visuals, historical documents, and in-depth explanations to reveal significant events in computer history. Encompassing the invention of machines, coding, and software development, as well as technology's influence on today's political landscape. This survey presents creations from Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage, Alan Turing, Grace Hopper, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs . Showcasing forgotten gadgets and prototypes connecting iconic products such as the Apple Macintosh and the Sony Play Station. As well as remembering milestones in software development, videogaming, and the web. Infographics explain wireless communication and other fundamental technical concepts, while the history of corporations such as IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Atari, Amazon, and Google is retraced through rare photographs and advertising campaigns. A fascinating read, this book acknowledges the computer's stupendous power and social impact.

The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
