What if the way your brain wanders from one thought to the next could be turned into something the entire world uses? This is the story of a curious kid, a discarded floppy disk, and an idea that was once described as "vague, but exciting.

They said it was impossible to build an all-electronic computer. Then they said women couldn't program it. They were wrong on both counts. Meet the six mathematicians who operated as ENIAC's living operating system, calculated the future in parallel, and were written out of history until one researcher refused to accept "refrigerator ladies" as an answer.
