What do frog legs, cloud computing, and failure have in common?
They’re all part of the messy, magnificent story of how we got here.
I’m Jamie Dobson - author of Visionaries, Rebels and Machines — and in this podcast, I’ll take you on a journey through the ideas, accidents, and breakthroughs that shaped our digital world.
From Edison’s lightbulb moment to the birth of the cloud…
From the engineers who fled war to build machines of peace…
To the technologists today trying to teach machines to think.
This isn’t just the history of tech.
It’s the story of creativity, chaos — and the strange, beautiful way we fail our way forward.
Each episode, we’ll unpack the big themes that shaped humanity’s extraordinary journey from electrification to cloudification.
So if you’ve ever wondered how the web got weird,
why management matters more than machines,
or what the hell the cloud really is...
...you’re in the right place.
This is Visionaries, Rebels and Machines.
