Geeks Bearing Gifts 2008
How the computer world got this way
“My friend Ted Nelson was one of the most inspirational figures in the
home computer revolution. [Geeks Bearing Gifts] chronicles this important
historic time. I highly recommend it.”
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple
“The computing world, however, forgets its past at its peril. Indeed, it may
be worthwhile for the self-congratulatory computing industry not only to
read [Geeks Bearing Gifts], but also to take another look at [Ted Nelson’s]
more recent software design ideas. They may still point the way forward.”
John Markoff in The New York Times
How aspects of computerdom evolved, with trenchant anecdotes. A fast and entertaining read.
