Great read. This made me curious about “the story” of the creation of the internet.
ChatGPT suggested some books:
1. Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet
2. The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution
3. Inventing the Internet
Any comments on the above? Or other suggestions?
- tiahura 3y agoWhile not Internet-centric, hopefully you’ve read Hackers by Steven Levy.
- z5h 3y agoNo. (Shame). But I did just download “UNIX: A History and a Memoir”.
- pjmorris 3y agoI read 'Where Wizards Stay Up Late', thoroughly enjoyed it, and would recommend. I can't speak to the others.
- whartung 3y agoI looked at those titles and wondered if ChatGPT just made them up.
- beeburrt 3y agoThe Backbone https://technicshistory.com/the-backbone/ https://technicshistory.com/the-backbone/ There's also The Switch by the same person: https://technicshistory.com/the-switch/ https://technicshistory.com/the-switch/
- ipython 3y agoNot related to the "creation" of the Internet, but Clifford Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg is a great read and I would highly recommend it. I also second "Where Wizards Stay Up Late".
- wofo 3y agoI liked "The Dream Machine", which also tells how computers came to exist
