In this revealing account of how the digital universe exploded in the aftermath of World War II, George Dyson illuminates the nature of digital computers, the lives of those who brought them into existence, and how code took over the world.

In the 1940s and '50s, a small group of men and women--led by John von Neumann--gathered in Princeton, New Jersey, to begin building one of the first computers to realize Alan Turing's vision of a Universal Machine. The codes unleashed within this embryonic, 5-kilobyte universe--less memory than is allocated to displaying a single icon on a computer screen today--broke the distinction between numbers that mean things and numbers that do things, and our universe would never be the same. Turing's Cathedral is the story of how the most constructive and most destructive of twentieth-century inventions--the digital computer and the hydrogen bomb--emerged at the same time.

My dogs absolutely love this treat.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have very picky dogs so I usually would start off with something small to give to my dogs. Sort of like a taste test. Case in point, I bought a small bag to test. Surprisingly, both of my dogs love this treat so I continued to purchase this item. These chips are pretty expensive so I try to buy them once a month on a subscription. Sometimes I end up buying more within the month because my dogs gobble these up like its their last meal. But again, these chips are pretty expensive but my dogs really love them.

Very good
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
There are two companies that have very little ingredients and this is one of them. I only buy dog treats that are made in the USA very little ingredients for a 1 pound bag so far this is the least expensive I need as small as I can get because I have a Golden and he doesn’t care whether he gets a tiny bit or 25 pound turkey. He wants more so the smaller they are the better it is for me. It must also be made in the USA and have very little ingredients right now. This is it.
