From the development of the first computer in Ukraine in the 1940s to its emergence as a global tech hub in the 21st century, Innovation in Isolationchronicles Ukraine's pivotal role in the birth of computer science. Featuring exclusive interviews spanning generations with compelling illustrations and original photographs never before seen in the West, the book brings to life the untold stories of overlooked geniuses including Sergey Lebedev (1902–1974) and Victor Glushkov (1923-1982).
"We created Innovation in Isolation to shed light on the profound history of Ukraine's IT industry and to show the world how Ukraine has produced so many talented engineers and IT specialists," said Oleksandr Kosovan, Founder and CEO of MacPaw. "For decades, Soviet authorities and Moscow elites distorted our history, often claiming our inventions and the names of our inventors as their own. This book will fix that narrative, celebrating the true pioneers who helped Ukraine become a modern tech hub. I hope that readers find this exploration of Ukrainian history both enlightening and inspiring, recognizing the resilience and brilliance of these remarkable Ukrainian minds."
Innovation in Isolation celebrates Ukraine's achievements and offers valuable insights into the lessons learned under the oppression and propaganda of the former Soviet Union. This book offers readers a powerful message for today: Ukraine's innovative spirit continues to thrive despite russian aggression. By examining Ukraine's resilience and innovation in the face of adversity, readers will gain a deeper appreciation of Ukraine's tech landscape and the indomitable spirit of its people.
