The Dream Machine: J.C.R. Licklider and the… af M. Mitchell Waldrop
The role J.C.R. Licklider played in creating the Internet and the entire personal computer revolution. Very well researched and written.
A revolving, difficult to follow account of the various disciplines and pivotal figures in the development of chaos theory and from that artificial intelligence. I didn’t realise on purchase that this book was written in the mid 90’s and it shows. The narration varies between smug, forgettable and unappealing. Unless you have a specific interest in the origin of these theories or the individual personalities then avoid.
excellent, but much too detailed to be considered light reading
