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 the fiercely progressive Lady Annebella Milbanke, 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. Driven by gears and programmed by punch cards, the Difference Engine had memory, logical operations, and met the standards of computational completeness by modern measures. Ada’s notes described its potential; in many ways, she described the future we now inhabit. Coming to the Crane Theater in April, nimbus presents the forgotten story of the world's first computer programmer, visionary Ada Lovelace, a genius misunderstood by her time.
