'The Essential George Boole: Logic, Love and Legacy' is a captivating portrait of a brilliant mind and the family that shaped him. George Boole, a largely self-taught genius, as a youth mastered multiple languages and scientific disciplines and later developed symbolic logic and what is now called Boolean algebra, the foundation of modern computing. He rose from poverty to become a respected professor at Queen's College Cork, now University College Cork. It is believed by some that he inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's creation of Professor Moriarty, the arch-enemy of Sherlock Holmes. But Boole's story isn't just about logical and mathematical prowess. He was married to a remarkable woman, educationalist Mary Everest. Their five remarkable daughters and subsequent generations carried on a legacy of brilliance, breaking barriers in science, medicine and literature. Geoffrey Hinton, George Boole's great great-grandson, is the 2024 Nobel Laureate in Physics. Boole's story as one of the founders of the digital age is one of perseverance, love and ideas that changed virtually everything.
