Are you a nerd, a world-changer, or a gamer - someone who believes anything is possible and only looks through the front windshield? Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson gives a face to these visionaries of the digital age. He reflects on inventors and adventurous entrepreneurs who refuse to accept limits, who want to relentlessly and joyfully shape the future. Big names like Jobs and Gates represent the many who, in an era that does not tolerate solitary rulers over information, continuously generate ideas and drive developments forward. The journey spans from Ada Lovelace to Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Konrad Zuse, and Grace Hopper, all the way to the brilliant minds of Silicon Valley.
