Decoding the Heavens: A 2,000-Year-Old Computer--and the Century-long Search to Discover Its Secrets Reprint edition
Jo Marchant
Marchant details the 100-year quest to decode an ancient Greek computer device. This is the surprising story behind the 2,000-year-old mechanism that challenges modern assumptions about what ancient scientists knew, and the technological equipment they used to understand their world.
