My current favorite historical computer scientist is Konrad Zuse,
who built a series of electromechanical computers in the 1930's
and 1940's in Germany. Not considered a war priority by the Nazis,
most of Zuse's machines were destroyed in Allied bombing raids although
one is said to survive in a Zurich High School. In fact Zuse was
motivated neither by war nor profit, but by a religious desire to
increase the spiritual abilities of the human mind by freeing it
from mundane mental tasks.
