This
book is an impassioned attempt to rescue the Internet from the condescension of posterity,
to celebrate the engineers and scientists who created it to explain the values and ideas
hat drove them. Its heores are the people who laid the foundations of the post-modern
world -from visionaries
like Joseph Licklider, Robert Taylor, Douglas Engelbart, Norbert Wiener,
Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson, to the engineers - Paul Baran, Donald Davies, Larry Roberts,
Bob Kahn, Vint Cerf and Tim Berners -Lee- who fashioned their
dreams in hardware and software. A Brief History of the Future is an intensely personal
celebration of vision and altruism, ingenuity and determination and
above all, of the power ideas to chage the world. |
