<div>Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Very many thanks to everyone who has sent suggestions, I’ve got a great reading list! I’ve already had a look at a few of them, and there’s some high quality work indeed. The only further question I would have is whether there are biographies
with a higher technical content? Perhaps that just isn’t common in biographies? <br class="">

<div class="">What is your favourite biography of a scientist or mathematician? I’m particularly interested in modern subjects and those who worked in computing/computer science. Ideally the book would cover the subject’s work in a reasonable level of technical
detail as well as their life and the broader context in which they lived and worked. </div>

<div class="">I ask because I am considering applying for funding for an essentially biographical project on a computer scientist and I would like to read some (more) biographies first. <br class="">
