Ma io avevo comprato un anno e mezzo fa l&#8217;edizione inglese e ho sfruttato l&#8217;occasione per toglierla dallo scaffale e leggerla] Charles Babbage e Ada Lovelace sembrerebbero due personaggi dei fumetti, e infatti Sidney Padua aveva disegnato una breve storia per un Ada Lovelace Day. Ma da cosa nasce cosa, e alla fine \u00e8 uscito fuori un libro intero (Sidney Padua, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JuFesU\">The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage<\/a> : The (Mostly) True Story of the First Computer<\/em>, Penguin 2016 [2015], pag. 320, Lst 13,99, ISBN 9780141981536). Solo che la storia reale \u00e8 breve e triste. Ma Padua \u00e8 fuori come un balcone, e cos\u00ec si \u00e8 messa a creare un &#8220;pocket universe&#8221; dove l&#8217;Analytic Engine \u00e8 stato effettivamente costruito e Ada non \u00e8 morta giovane di cancro, ma ha continuato a lavorare con Babbage, partecipando a mirabolanti avventure dove troviamo di tutto, da Coleridge a George Eliot, da George Boole a Lewis Carroll. Ma questo non sarebbe ancora nulla: in un turbinio di note a pi\u00e8 di pagina e note alla fine del capitolo, Padua spiega per filo e per segno quali sono le sue fonti &#8211; molte frasi pronunciate dai protagonisti sono effettivamente loro &#8211; e giustifica i suoi anacronismi che nascono per esigenze umoristiche ma non sono mai cos\u00ec lontani dalla realt\u00e0 da essere del tutto implausibili. Il libro insomma non \u00e8 solo da gustare per i disegni, ma da leggere da cima a fondo. Imprescindibile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avventure davvero
