À propos de cet audio

2015 Audie Award Finalist for Nonfiction

Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson’s New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed The Innovators is a “riveting, propulsive, and at times deeply moving” (The Atlantic) story of the people who created the computer and the internet.

What were the talents that allowed certain inventors and entrepreneurs to turn their visionary ideas into disruptive realities? What led to their creative leaps? Why did some succeed and others fail?

The Innovators is a masterly saga of collaborative genius destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution—and an indispensable guide to how innovation really happens. Isaacson begins the adventure with Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s. He explores the fascinating personalities that created our current digital revolution, such as Vannevar Bush, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, J.C.R. Licklider, Doug Engelbart, Robert Noyce, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee, and Larry Page.

This is the story of how their minds worked and what made them so inventive. It’s also a narrative of how their ability to collaborate and master the art of teamwork made them even more creative. For an era that seeks to foster innovation, creativity, and teamwork, The Innovators is “a sweeping and surprisingly tenderhearted history of the digital age” (The New York Times).

I got this book because I was fascinated by his biographies of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein and wanted to see what this mashup of biographies would be like. The result is mesmerizing. I enjoyed this book through and through. The pacing is great and the new ingredient is how Walter weaves together the different stories with a very clear storyline. Highly recommended!

Walter Isaacson never disappoints

Can’t recommend this book enough for anyone interested in tech. Isaacson was honest in his high emphasis on the importance of the rebellious-creative types who had the vision for leveraging technology to enhance our capabilities and experiences. There are so many great stories and characters to draw inspiration from in this book!

Awesome book

Often times we like to sensationalize a single causal factor in the process of innovation. This book does a great job cutting through and painting a more realistic picture.

a great story to learn the process of innovation.
