This autobiography, the only one by a first generation computer constructor is fascinating in several respects. First, Konrad Zuse working in almost total intellectual isolation (from the mainstream US and UK efforts in calculator/computer development) between 1936 and 1945 developed one of the most sophisticated and Turing-complete computers prior to ENIAC and most other US efforts (the only other comparable binary computer--of more limited capacity--at the time was the Antanasoff-Berry Computer at Iowa State University).
