"Here is the story of the search for and eventual discovery of the algorithm, the set of instructions that drives computers. An idea as simple as the first recipe and as elusive as the quark or the gluon, the algorithm was discovered by a succession of logicians and mathematicians working alone and in obscurity during the first half of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

"Some philosophers see into themselves, and some into their times; still others forge an alliance with the future, scribbling their secrets late at night and speaking in whispers to the insubstantial and impatient souls that are gathered around their study door, dying to be born."
