Nerds 2.0.1 by Stephen Segaller Summary and Reviews
Book Reviews of Nerds 2.0.1Book Review: Very good history of computing
As noted in previous reviews, the book covers American computer/networking history moreso than the Internet proper. I found the origins of ARPA and the major companies to be fascinating. Certainly the author doesn't go into technical detail into protocols and such, no moreso than a WWII history book has to teach the subject of military strategy. The best thing about the book was the lighthearted style, that did a good job of showing these industry heavyweights as real people. |
