Long before computers, there was a woman who dared to imagine them. Born to the eccentric poet Lord Byron and a mathematically rigorous mother, Ada Lovelace forged a unique intellect-one that blended a poet's imagination with a scientist's discipline. Through her legendary partnership with Charles Babbage, she didn't just understand his machine; she envisioned a new world of art, music, and thought powered by algorithms. This is the definitive story of her brilliant, brief life, the tragic personal struggles she endured, and the extraordinary vision that makes her the true mother of the digital age.
