This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In "Passages from the Life of a Philosopher," Charles Babbage, the pioneering computer scientist, pens an unconventional autobiography. Unlike traditional life stories, it doesn't follow a chronological order. Instead, Babbage dives into various episodes from his life, from navigating London Bridge as a lost child to his quest to understand the universe through a "complete system." He also showcases his diverse interests, including lock-picking, volcano climbing, and even imagining life as a cheese mite. The book is both humorous and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the mind of a brilliant and eccentric polymath.
