About ishistory
Every technology shaping your life right now has a history stranger and older than you'd expect. ishistory tells those stories in full — from the very beginning, through every twist and dead end, to the present day.
Three series, each a complete deep-dive: the history of AI, the history of robotics, and the history of the internet. Written for curious people, not specialists.
The ideas that built the modern world all had a beginning. This is where they started.
