Too Soon To Tell: Essays for the End of The Computer Revolution
David Grier, Author
Based on author David A. Grier's column "In Our Time," which runs monthly in IEEE Computer magazine, Too Soon To Tell presents a collection of essays skillfully written about the computer age, an era that began February 1946. Examining ideas that are both contemporary and timeless, these chronological essays examine the revolutionary nature of the computer, the relation between machines and human institutions, and the connections between fathers and sons to provide general readers with a picture of a specific technology that attempted to rebuild human institutions in its own image.

David Grier, Author
When Computers Were Human (Princeton University Press 2005) is a sad but lyrical
story of workers who gladly did the hard labor of research calculation in the
hope that they might be part of the scientific community. In the end, they were
rewarded by a new electronic machine that took the place and the name of those
who were, once, the computers. This book won the 2006 Independent Publisher
Book Awards (IPPY Awards), in the Computer/Internet Category, Independent Publisher.
