Most histories of the personal computer industry focus on technology or business.  John Markoff’s landmark book is about the culture and consciousness behind the first PCs—the culture being counter– and the consciousness expanded, sometimes chemically.  It’s a brilliant evocation of Stanford, California, in the 1960s and ’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 Cap’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.

What the Dormouse Said

As robots become more integrated into modern society, journalist John Markoff seeks answers to one of our generation's most pressing questions: will these machines assist us or replace us? In only the last decade, Google has introduced us to self-driving vehicles, Apple has released a personal assistant that we can carry in our pockets, and the Internet of Things has connected the tiny tasks of daily life to the far reaches of the internet.  There is no doubt that robots have become a vital part of civilization: inexpensive sensors and strong processors will assure this in years to come. 

Stewart Brand is an American writer, best known as editor of the Whole Earth Catalog. He founded a number of organizations, including The WELL, the Global Business Network, and the Long Now Foundation.
