我最近从这本书里了解到 Tommy Flowers 和 Colossus：http://www.amazon.com/Colossus-secrets-Bletchley-code-breaki... 英国人把 Colossus 保密了太久，Flowers 没有得到足够的认可（而 von Neumann 似乎得到了太多……
I recently learned about Tommy Flowers and Colossus from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Colossus-secrets-Bletchley-code-breaki... The British kept Colossus secret for a too long and Flowers did not get enough credit (and von Neumann seems to get too…
有一本好书——http://www.amazon.com/Colossus-secrets-Bletchley-code-breaki... 这本书讲了 Tutte 和 Flowers 以及他们如何建造世界上第一台真正的计算机。它包括原理图、算法和其他技术细节……
There's a good book out - http://www.amazon.com/Colossus-secrets-Bletchley-code-breaki... The book talks about Tutte and Flowers and how they went about building the world's first true computer. It includes schematics and algorithms and other technical details…
Through no fault of its own, this is a very American-centric view of early computing. I'm pretty sure that at the time this was written, the story of COLOSSUS was still highly classified by the British government. It has since been declassified, and you might read about it in this book [1]. 1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0199578141
除了 Singh 那本极其著名的书，我也相当喜欢《Colossus: The secrets of Bletchley Park》[1] 的技术历史部分。Leo Marks 的自传《Between Silk & Cyanide》[2] 是一本不错的（尽管我怀疑相当戏剧化和夸张）读物，关于……
Apart from Singh's incredibly famous one, I also quite enjoyed _Colossus: The secrets of Bletchley Park_[1] for technical history. The autobiography of Leo Marks: _Between Silk & Cyanide_[2] was a good (although I suspect quite heavily dramatised & exaggerated) read about…
有人能推荐一本更技术性的、关于 Colossus 设计和操作的书吗？我找到了 B. Jack Copeland 编辑的《Colossus》文集，但至少在亚马逊上没找到太多别的。（也对 Zuse 的计算机感兴趣，因为我主要研究的是 Atanasoff-Berry……
Can anyone recommend a more technical book on the design and operation of the Colossus? I've found Colossus, a collections of essays edited by B. Jack Copeland, but not much else, at least on Amazon. (Also interested in anything on Zuse's computers, as I've mostly studied the Atanasoff-Berry…

这并非它自身的过错，但这是对早期计算非常美国中心的视角。我很确定在这本书写作时，COLOSSUS 的故事仍被英国政府高度保密。后来它被解密了，你可以在《Colossus》这本书里读到 [1]。1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0199578141
