  • What The Dormouse Said : How The Sixties Counterculture Shaped The Personal Computer Industry

  • Attribution

    John Markoff

  • Publication Details

    Book, Viking Penguin, 2005

  • Description

    While there have been several histories of the personal computer, well-known technology writer John Markoff has created the first ever to spotlight the unique political and cultural forces that gave rise to this revolutionary technology. Based on interviews with all the major surviving players, Markoff vividly captures the lives and times of those who laid the groundwork for the PC revolution, introducing the reader to such colorful characters as Fred Moore, a teenage antiwar protester who went on to ignite the computer industry, and Cap?n Crunch, who wrote the first word processing software for the IBM PC (EZ Writer) in prison, became a millionaire, and ended up homeless.

The Computer Industry

  • The Computer Industry

  • Attribution

    Jeffrey R. Yost

  • Publication Details

    Book, Greenwood Press, 2005

  • Links

  • Description

    Originally a military and scientific computational tool of a small number of government, scientific, and corporate elites in the late 1940s, the computer has evolved significantly in less than 70 years to become a revolutionary technology and the basis for one the largest industries in America. From punched cards and tabulating machines to the first digital computer companies in the early 1950s, Yost clearly describes how the concept of the computer was born in the late 1800s but did not evolve into the personal computer until the late 1970s and 1980s.

  • Attribution

    Peter Evans

  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 1995

  • Description

    Evans’s years of comparative research on the successes and failures of state involvement in the process of industrialization have here been crafted into a persuasive and entertaining work, which demonstrates that successful state action requires an understanding of its own limits, a realistic relationship to the global economy, and the combination of coherent internal organization and close links to society that Evans called “embedded autonomy.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
