As the British Industrial Revolution dawns, young Ada sees the boundless creative potential in the “analytic engines” of her friend and soul mate Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer. Ada envisions a whole new world where art and information converge - a world she might not live to see. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age.
