Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet

by Katie Hafner

Review

If you dislike publications such as People Magazine, you will not like this book.

If you believe that a history book should be well organized along either thematic or chronological lines, you will not like this book.

If you think that a book about the history of technology should include details about the evolution of that technology, you will not like this book.

If you believe that every non-fiction book deserves a good copy editor who will eliminate pointless discursions, you will not like this book.

Otherwise, there is an excellent chance that you will enjoy this book, as a nightly sedative, if nothing else.
