This Blackwing, 16.2 is a tribute to mathematician, writer and visionary Ada Lovelace. In 1843, while translating an article on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine Computer, Ada wrote her own thoughts and notes on the machine. These notes contained what many consider to be the first complete computer program, earning her the posthumous title, “The Prophet of the Computer Age”
