Description
Home Computers 100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation by Alex Wiltshire is a nostalgic look at the early years of computing. This book celebrates the iconic machines that brought personal computing to the masses, with specially commissioned photographs and rare archival materials. From the Commodore 64 to the TRS-80, Apple Lisa, and Mattel Aquarius, each computer is showcased in a series of artful images accompanied by a brief history of its development, innovations, and influence. This collection also features mass-market success stories, prototypes, one-offs, and never-before-seen specimens. For those who grew up with the digital revolution, this book offers a charming visit to an era when computing power was contained in a single box on a desk. The result is a fascinating tribute to the early days of personal computing.
