Product Information
The story of the man who instigated the work that led to the internet--and shifted our understanding of what computers could be. Behind every great revolution is a vision, and behind perhaps the greatest revolution of our time is the vision of J.C.R. Licklider. He did not design the first personal computers or write the software that ran on them, nor was he involved in the legendary early companies that brought them to the forefront of our everyday experience. He was instead a relentless visionary who saw the potential in the way that individuals could interact with computers and software. At a time when computers were a short step removed from mechanical data processors, Licklider was writing treatises on "human-computer symbiosis," "computers as communication devices," and a now not-so-unfamiliar "Intergalactic Network." His ideas became so influential, his passion so contagious, that author M. Mitchell Waldrop calls him "computing's Johnny Appleseed." In a simultaneously compelling personal narrative and comprehensive historical exposition, Waldrop tells the story of the man who not only instigated the work that led to the internet, but also shifted our understanding of what computers were and could be. This Stripe Press edition also includes the original texts of Licklider's three most influential writings: "Man-Computer Symbiosis" (1960), which outlines the vision that led to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s; his "Intergalactic Network" memo (1963), which outlines the vision that inspired the internet; and "The Computer as a Communication Device" (1968, coauthored with Robert Taylor), which amplifies his vision for what the network could become.

Reviews
"When people ask me about Xerox Parc, I always tell themabout J. C. R. Licklider "Lick" and how he formed the ARPA Information ProcessingTechniques Office in 1962 and started the great research funding for interactivecomputing and pervasive worldwide networks that has resulted in most of thetechnology we use today: both via the inventions of the eventually 16 or soARPA projects at various universities and think tanks, and by creating the nextgenerations of computing researchers, many of whom became the founders andmainstays of Xerox Parc. The top book I recommend to read about this largeprocess that stretched over 20 years is The Dream Machine by M. MitchellWaldrop. It is the most accurate, has the most detail, and has the bestorganization and writing. He is able to admirably catch many of the mostimportant parts of both the history and the spirit of the many headed researchand engineering processes that together created our interactive networkedinformation world." --Alan Kay, computer scientist and A.M. Turing Award recipient "The Dream Machine works admirably as anexploration of the intellectual and political roots of the rise of moderncomputing. It's an ambitious and worthwhile addition to the history of science." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A masterpiece! A mesmerizing but balanced andcomprehensive look at the making of the information revolution the people, theideas, the tensions, and the hurdles. And on top of that, it is beautifully written." --John Seely Brown, former director of Xerox PARC, coauthor of The Social Lifeof Information "A sprawling history of the ideas, individuals, and groups ofpeople that got us from punch cards to personal computers... comprehensive... impressive...[and] compelling." -- The New York Times Book Review "The story is fascinating, played out inalmost 500 pages of engrossing politics, personalities, and passions. This isnot a casual read--but for those who want the whole story, well told, it is avery good one." -- Wired "A sweepinghistory of personal computing, made vivid by rich detail." -- The St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A well-reported storyabout the overwhelming power of vision and tenacity." -- USA Today "An informative and engaging history." -- Library Journal
