A serious readable history of the development of the computer
chip and its use in what we now call a PC or just a computer.
The origins, the designs, the logic and fabrication methods are
all dealt with in a lay understandable technical way.
Interleaved, the people who did this work for the first time are
identified and credited. It is not necessary to know this story
to use a computer but it is doubtful if anyone who lacks a
sympathy with the story can be more than a follower of
technological developments.
