Book Reviews of Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet
Book Review: Excellent historical review of the Internet
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very impressed by this book. I, along with myriad others, work in the Internet field and I, along with myriad others, had only a hazy understanding of where the Internet sprang from. This book changed all that. It goes into great depth but remains a gripping read throughout. It covers the conception, birth, infancy and early childhood of computer networking and the Internet. My only reservation about this book is that it seemed to fizzle out at the end, but I guess, given the nature of the subject, there's no way of ending the story. I can thoroughly recommend this book - it won't change the way you work with the Internet but it will give you an appreciation of the work (and fun) involved in getting it started.
