The history of computing is rich and multi-layered. Most popular books on the subject focus on the technology, or the people behind the technology. But the machines themselves are also works of art—stunning in their thoughtful design, or magnificently bizarre in the curious forms that came from the focus on function. Core Memory is a new book, an art book in fact, that profiles 35 important and/or bizarre machines from the collection of the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley.
