Book Reviews of The Dream Machine: J.C.R. Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal
Book Review: A computer chronology that reads like a novel
Summary: 5 Stars
If The Dream Machine were a novel, you might conclude the author used every writer's technique to make it a thriller. Even though you know the outcome, you wonder how the many "miracles" and lucky breaks it took for the dream to become reality.
