Engines of Logic: Mathematicians and the Origin of the Computer

A truly excellent book. Both as a 'history of ideas' and in its
consideration of the personal trials and tribulations faced by Leibniz,
Frege, Boole, Hilbert, Cantor, Godel, and Turing. The book traces the
development of the computer through the life and work of these
logicians/mathematicians, from Leibniz's dream of a language of symbolic
logic and a machine capable of producing and testing true propositions in
that language. This book is relevant not only to philosophers,
mathematicians, and computer scientists, but to writers who seek
understanding of the relations between language and logic in the
contemporary electronic landscape. It will also be a good read for anyone
wishing to understand the intellectual atmospheres from which the computer
arose.

And it is poignant in its reflections on the fate of some of the most gifted
logicians in history. Cantor spent a lot of time in sanitoriums; Godel
starved himself to death over paranoia that his food was being poisoned;
Alan Turing probably committed suicide by eating a poisoned apple.
