5.0 out of 5 stars
A Brilliant and Early History of Online Culture and Potential,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Netizens: On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet (Perspectives) (Hardcover)
From the IEEE Computer Society comes this early (written in the mid-1990's but published in 1997) history of the internet. Most telling is the fact that this pre-blog, pre-Facebook study is about the Usenet first and the Internet second!
344 pp, illustrated, sewn binding. Anyway, the blurbs from the dustjacket describe this vital work better than I could... "...an ambitious look at the social aspects of computer networking. It examines the past and turbulent future and especially explores the technical and social roots of the Net." - Thomas Truscott "Inspired by the writings of Thomas Paine and Rousseau, Michael and Ronda Hauben sketch out a provocative declaration of Netizen rights in their appendix to this engrossing, well-researched, and very useful book. The Haubens reserve the term Netizen for positive contributors to the Net, the good citizens whose heroic precursors from the 1960's are richly chronicled in a flowing historical and sociological account that is not to be missed." |
