Publisher: Da Capo Press


In Decoding the Heavens, Jo Marchant tells for the first time the full story of the hundred-year quest to decipher the ancient computer known as the Antikythera Mechanism. Along the way she unearths a diverse cast of remarkable characters-ranging from Archimedes to Jacques Cousteau-and explores the deep roots of modern technology in ancient Greece, the Islamic world, and medieval Europe. At its heart, it is an epic adventure story, one that challenges our assumptions about technology through the ages.
