Ada Lovelace: Bride of Science

Nearly two hundred years ago, a machine was envisioned that would have been the first computer. While the rest of humanity failed to grasp its significance, one woman understood its possibility: Ada Lovelace. Born from the scandalous union of the poet Lord Byron and a fiercely progressive mother, Ada was a brilliant mathematician tutored by the greatest scientific minds of her age. She struck up an unlikely friendship with the beleaguered inventor Charles Babbage: the man behind a machine that would change the world forever... if it could only be built.
