Books like The advent of the algorithm by David Berlinski


David Berlinski offers a concise history of how the algorithm, the fundamental procedure that powers computers, emerged from the efforts of isolated logicians and mathematicians in the first half of the twentieth century. He compares this slow, almost mythic discovery to the simplicity of an early recipe and the elusiveness of elementary particles, highlighting the gradual accumulation of ideas that culminated in the modern understanding of computational instruction sets.
