She was born with a physical disability that prevented her from walking and had to use a wheelchair to move around. Despite this, she became one of the most important mathematicians and computer scientists of her time. The book explores how Ada's passion for mathematics and her desire to understand the world led her to develop a new way of thinking about technology and its relationship with society. The book begins with Ada's childhood, where she is shown to be a curious and intelligent girl who loves math and science. Her mother, Anne Isabella Milbanke, encourages her to study these subjects, but her father, Lord Byron, is not interested in her education and leaves her family when Ada is just a baby. As Ada grows older, she becomes increasingly fascinated with Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine, and she sees its potential to change the world. She begins to work with Charles on the project, and together they develop a new programming language that can be used to perform any task that can be expressed in an algorithm. As the story progresses, Ada's health begins to deteriorate due to her physical disability, and she becomes bedridden. However, this does not stop her from continuing her work on the Analytical Engine, and she eventually develops a set of instructions that become known as the first computer program. These instructions are based on her own experiences and reflections on how technology can be used to improve society.
