Digital Computing Ben Mark

If you have ever wondered whether there is any structure beneath all the noise in the marketplace about computing, this is the book to read.
This book takes a fifty-year perspective on computing and discusses what is significant, what is novel, what endures, and why it is all so confusing. The book tries to balance two points of view: digital computing as viewed from a business perspective, where the focus is on marketing and selling, and digital computing from a research perspective, where the focus is on developing fundamentally new technology.
