The Dream Machine


COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Behind every great revolution is a vision, and behind perhaps

the greatest revolution of our time, personal computing, is the

vision of J. C. R. Licklider. He did not design the first personal

computers or write the software that ran on them, nor was he

involved in the legendary early companies that brought them to

the forefront of our everyday experience. He was instead a

relentless visionary who saw the potential of the way that

individuals could interact with computers and software. At a

time when computers were a short step removed from

mechanical data processors, Licklider was writing treatises on

8220human-computer symbiosis, 8221 8220computers as

communication devices, 8221 and a now not-so-unfamiliar

8220Intergalactic Network. 8221 His ideas became so

influential, his passion so contagious, that author M. Mitchell

Waldrop calls him 8220computing 8217s Johnny Appleseed.

8221 In a simultaneously compelling personal narrative and

comprehensive historical exposition, Waldrop tells the story of

the man who not only instigated the work that led to the

internet but also shifted our understanding of what computers

were and could be. Included in this edition are also the original

texts of Licklider 8217s three most influential writings:

8220Man-computer symbiosis 8221 (1960), which outlines the

vision that led to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s

his 8220Intergalactic Network 8221 memo (1963), which

outlines the vision that inspired the internet and 8220The

Computer as a Communication Device 8221 (1968, coauthored

with Robert Taylor), which amplifies his vision for

what the network could become.
