Don't forget about Johnny von Neumann! Read his biographies too.
- woodson 17y agoI recommend the following. Don't know why, but after I read a biography on Oppenheimer I just had to read this too. Aspray, William (1990) John von Neumann and the origins of modern computing. MIT Press. (http://www.amazon.com/Neumann-Origins-Modern-Computing-History/dp/0262011212/ http://www.amazon.com/Neumann-Origins-Modern-Computing-Histo...)
- gnosis 17y agoI'll second the recommendation of reading about von Neumann. But brace yourself to be intimidated as well as inspired. The man was a giant among giants.
