Introduction

When a world-class biographer goes on a stroll through history, good things are bound to happen.

Walter Isaacson has written stellar biographies of Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein.

But in 2014, he decided to tackle a slightly different project.

He wanted to give a snapshot of the history of our digital revolution for everyone to understand where the technology we use today really comes from.

Above all, The Innovators will show you that true innovation is rarely the result of one person's solo effort, as it's based on collaboration, integration, and incremental improvements.

For hundreds of years, people have put their blood, sweat, and tears into their work, so you can hold your smartphone in your hands today.
