The Lost Story of the Texans Who Invented the Personal Computer Revolution
The book reveals the origins of the personal computer, tracing its roots back to a groundbreaking invention in San Antonio, Texas, rather than the commonly credited tech giants. It highlights the significance of US Patent number 224,415, filed in 1970, which details the first self-contained computer with essential features like a programmable processor, display, and internal memory. This work emphasizes the often-overlooked contributions to technology that predate the well-known narratives of Silicon Valley and major corporations.
