In this RedMonk Conversation, James Governor interviews Jamie Dobson, Co-Founder of Container Solutions, about his book Visionaries, Rebels and Machines, which traces the evolution of computing technology from 1799 through Edison's workshops, Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, to the modern cloud, creating what he describes as a "relay race of stories" that has not been comprehensively told. The discussion underscores the critical role of leadership in shaping technology's impact on society. James and Jamie ultimately call for ensuring that technological progress translates into broader societal benefits rather than repeating the mistakes of previous industrial revolutions.
