What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counter culture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry

Most histories of the personal computer industry focus on technology or business. John Markoffâ€™s landmark book is about the culture and consciousness behind the first PCsâ€”the culture being counterâ€“ and the consciousness expanded, sometimes chemically. Itâ€™s a brilliant evocation of Stanford, California, in the 1960s and â€™70s, where a group of visionaries set out to turn computers into a means for freeing minds and information. In these pages one encounters Ken Kesey and the phone hacker Capâ€™n Crunch, est and LSD, The Whole Earth Catalog and the Homebrew Computer Lab. What the Dormouse Said is a poignant, funny, and inspiring book by one of the smartest technology writers around.
