Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship di George Dyson
An account that illustrates the unfortunate directions taken by post-WWII science funded by military contracts and technological myopia.
It's as if Neal Stephenson wrote a book about AI without knowing what AI stands for. Still, some interesting bits even though I wasn't interested in most of them.
A promising book, in which the level of details about "characters" and events is too detailed for the average reader, causing the book to fail in keeping its promises of constructing an accessible history of the origins of computers. It's more for the connaisseur than for the newbie.
