About this listen

Hello Computer is the story of a working-class girl who begins a lifelong love affair with technology after seeing a computer for the first time in 1967. It tells of her quest to become a professor of computing in one of the top universities in England. Empowered as a programmer on pioneering hospital systems, she learns that computer code can change lives. Her story is a journey from 1967 to 2017, through exciting times and epic events, from the dawn of the internet to the dotcom boom, from punch cards to the raspberry pi and virtual worlds.

As a woman in a world dominated by men, her path is fraught with unspoken, unconscious prejudices, and as a wife and mother, the playing field feels distinctly uneven. The listener will experience the strategies and approaches she adopts to overcome difficult and sometimes amusing situations. She shares her unique story through a dual lens of computers and womanhood and captures the struggles faced by many young women then and now. A life of hope, passion, and programming, and a realization that who codes matters. Inspirational for future generations of women and girls in STEM.
