Have you ever heard of a computer program? How about the first person to publish one? Join Craig Benzine, aka WheezyWaiter, as he takes us into the amazing imagination of Augusta Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace. Born in 1815, this mathematician was far ahead of her time and dared to journey where no woman had before. From flying horses to modern computers, Ada Lovelace dared to imagine a world plucked from the future.
