In the shadow of two world wars, thinkers abandoned mechanical gears in favor of electric relays and vacuum tubes. This was the era that defined the mathematical limits of what machines could calculate, birthed the first electronic brains, and saw Alan Turing pose the fundamental question that permanently altered the trajectory of human civilization
