Hacker, scienziati e pionieri By Carlo Gubitosa. An italian book about the history of the science and tecnology, focusing on life stories of characters often left behind by the official history, like Ludwig Boltzmann, the author of the Boltzmann law, or Phillip Katz, the author of the Zip process, pursued or mocked by contemporary people, like Alan Turing and Charles Babbage. The book also focuses on the meaning of the word invention, because many historical characters bound to a scientific or technological improvement are not the real authors of that improvement: Thomas Edison did not invent the telegraph, as well as the radio was not invented by Guglielmo Marconi or Bill Gates was not the author of the revolutionary MsDOS Operating System.
