The Chinese Typewriter: A History

byThomas Mullaney

Thomas Mullaney uses The Chinese Typewriter to investigate a History through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of computers and science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
