There's a hidden science that affects every part of your life. You are fluent in        its terminology of email, WiFi, social networking, and encryption. You use its        results when you make a telephone call, access the Internet, use any        factory-produced product, or travel in any modern car.The discipline is so new that        some prefer to call it a branch of engineering or mathematics. But it is so powerful        and world-changing that you would be hard-pressed to find a single human being on        the planet unaffected by its achievements. The science of computers enables the        supply and creation of power, food, water, medicine, transport, money,        communication, entertainment, and most goods in shops. It has transformed societies        with the Internet, the digitization of information, mobile phonenetworks and GPS        technologies.Here, Peter J. Bentley explores how this young discipline grew from its        theoretical conception by pioneers such as Turing, through its growth spurts in the        Internet, its difficult adolescent stage where the promises of AI were never        achieved and dot-com bubble burst, to its current stage as a (semi)mature field, now        capable of remarkable achievements. Charting the successes and failures of computer        science through the years, Bentley discusses what innovations may change our world        in thefuture.
