Description
The Dream Machine is a compelling narrative that explores the vision of J.C.R. Licklider, a relentless visionary who saw the potential in the way individuals could interact with computers and software. Licklider's ideas, which became influential and contagious, instigated the work that led to the internet and shifted our understanding of what computers could be. This book, written by M. Mitchell Waldrop, tells the story of Licklider's life and work, including his three most influential writings, which outline his vision for a personal computer revolution, an intergalactic network, and the computer as a communication device.
