Editorial Reviews

Review

"An essential investigation, covering both technological advancement, and the lived experience of Father Busa as he undertook his groundbreaking, and field forming, research. This text is vital reading for those interested in the history of computing, and the use of computing in history." –Melissa M. Terras, University College London

"Steve Jones explodes the most oft-repeated origin story of the Digital Humanities and then puts it back together again piece by archival piece, replacing mythology and commonplace with scrupulous research, forensic reconstruction, and deep media archaeology. It is a work of scholarship that is as lively and atmospheric (and compelling) as a novel." -Matthew Kirschenbaum, University of Maryland, College Park

"This fascinating book succeeds in both problematizing and pushing forward our hitherto limited understandings of the complex and shifting relationships that developed between Busa and IBM, on one side, and the emerging field of Digital Humanities, on the other. It is a tremendous and important contribution to scholarship on the History of (Digital) Humanities." –Julianne Nyhan, University College London

"This book is a must-read ― and a pleasure, at that ― for scholars and students of cultural theory, humanities computing and digital humanities, intellectual history, and Jesuit contributions to contemporary culture." -Micki McGee, Fordham University

"This book is well-written and accessible to a general audience. There is little technical jargon. As a computer historian, I might have wished for more technical detail, but technology is not the main thrust of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I can recommend it to a wide audience." -Paul Ceruzzi, Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum

"Steven E. Jones's book is an entertaining and profound contribution to current discussions in the humanities." -Daniela Zetti, H-Net Reviews
