Overview
In Go To, Steve Lohr chronicles the history of software from the early days of complex mathematical codes mastered by a few thousand to today's era of user-friendly software and over six million professional programmers worldwide.

With original reporting and deft storytelling, Steve Lohr shows us how software transformed the world, and what it holds in store for our future.
