Summary
This book describes the evolution of computer science in the form of seven overlapping, intermingling, parallel histories that unfold concurrently in the course of the two decades. Author Subrata Dasgupta named the two decades from 1970 to 1990 as the second age of computer science to distinguish it from the preceding genesis of the science and the age of the Internet/World Wide Web that followed-- Provided by the publisher.
