A Biographical Dictionary of People in Engineering Literature from the Earliest Records to 2000
Konrad Zuse was a german civil engineer who, during WWII, essentially invented the computer & some programming theory in parallel with similar inventions from the Allied nations.
He gives some focus to the effects of the war on his work; especially the prototypes destroyed due to it. He also spent a good amount of time talking about a theory of programming languages. He designed a language called the "plan calculus" that is more thoroughly grounded in boolean algebra (instead of numeric operations).
Overall, the book is a fascinating look at Zuse. It's both amazing (in the 1930's, he theorized that one day his computing machines would be able to play chess, and win!) and sad (even up to his death in 1995, some of his ideas received short thrift).
