Perhaps Mary inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a dreary life in her father’s bookstore, waiting for that extraordinary idea that will inspire a work worthy of her parentage and impress her gorgeous (and super-secret) beauty, Percy Shelley.
Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about celebrity parents, since her father is Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts, to be precise, in mechanical engineering. Unfortunately, no matter how precise Ada’s calculations are, there’s always someone ready to claim her brilliant ideas as their own.
The man, or rather "The Practical Automaton Number One," is Ada's best idea: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make it truly autonomous... or how to get it to work at all.
