<p>"Dr. Martino has condensed a lifetime of adventure in technology to bring new insight and a promising outlook for our rapidly changing cyber world." - John William Mauchly, Jr. Will it rain tomorrow? Will this be a brutal winter? Is my job safe? These are but three of the millions of questions we ask and now answer each day on our cell phones, tablets, laptops, or computers. It wasn't always so. Social networking can now foment a revolution, create a billionaire overnight, or set a new standard of dress. The world population of people and computers is close to equal. Soon the microchip population will exceed that of people. How did this all happen? Who invented it? Did they become billionaires or paupers? Did they get credit for what they did or were they cheated out of fame and fortune? That's what this book is about- the people, the machines, and the politics. People, Machines, and Politics of the Cyber Age Creation is a heavily documented book, amplified with the personal knowledge and observations of the author, who knew and worked with the inventors of the Cyber Age. Dr. Martino's first person knowledge, experiences, and reflections go beyond the historic facts in writing about the triumphs and tragedies, successes and failures, promises and perils, and visions of the creators of the Cyber Age. This timely book begins with a knowledgeable survey of the impact of the computer in our lives and then goes on to portray the actual invention of the machine and the Cyber Age in the United States and around the world. A major feature of People, Machines, and Politics of the Cyber Age Creation is Dr. Martino's recounting of the infringement trial of 1972, the Honeywell v. Sperry -Rand Court Battle that misdirected the truth of what really happened. Dr. Martino's book includes consideration of the creation and growth of word processing, the Internet, cell phones, artificial intelligence, and personal computers. The book closes with a Crystal Ball look at the future. People, Machines, and Politics of the Cyber Age Creation is a must read for the student of human adventures of the mind and spirit, for those searching for the seeds of the future in the past, and for the downright curious as to what really happened to create this revolution through which we are all living.</p>
