Through the infamous divorce of her parents, Ada Lovelace became the most talked-about child in Georgian Britain. This riveting biography tells the extraordinary yet little known story of her life and times-when mathematics was as fashionable as knitting among women and Ada became the world's first computer programmer. But for her era's view on gender, Ada would single-handedly have started the digital age more than two centuries ago.

Recensione:

''The story that might have started the computer age a century sooner.'' --Independent

''Engrossing.'' --New York Times

''Anyone who thinks Lovelace s contribution to computer science is overrated, should read [this] new biography.'' --Engineering and Technology Magazine
