Description

Giant Brains, first published in 1949, was one of the first books to explain electronic computers to general readers. This is the 1961 Science Editions paperback, with a new section, “Comments in 1961,” and it surveys the machines of the 1940s, among them the ENIAC and Harvard’s IBM calculator. Its author, Edmund C. Berkeley, edited the magazine Computers and Automation, which announced a computer art contest in February 1963 and printed the winning plotter drawings that August.
