The history of social media, its interaction with the personal computer world, and its possible future are the subjects of this book. Its author was there at every step and tells his story from an overview perspective, starting with the 1964 Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus and proceeding through the counterculture that grew out of it to the personal computer milieu and beyond. Along the way he explains the theories that he developed from the experience. This book is about ideas - ideas that led to the development of the digital world we now inhabit, and the ideas that can lead us on to being much more than "livestock in an information feedlot". The final section of the book is a tutorial for designers of the future, laying out the facts and concepts that can lead out of the silo-infested, algorithm-driven social media world of today to much better possibilities.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2024

    Lee Felsenstein is a distinctive figure, and this book provides a window into his life and his approach to technology. An early developer of personal computers, Lee’s perspective differed significantly from his contemporaries. In an era where entrepreneurs focus on raising funds and building multimillion-dollar companies, Lee’s approach is uniquely human-centric. He uses technology and science to solve problems in ways that align with his values. This book offers an insight into how he has shaped and maintained his ideals over the past 50 years, making him a standout character in Silicon Valley.

    The first-hand account of someone who was there at the beginning. Essential reading for anyone curious about the birth of social media and the challenges it poses to democracy. Anyone serious about tackling misinformation should read this book!

    Dopo aver fatto giá un reso per il medesimo problema… anche la seconda copia arrivata si presenta identica: tagliato sbagliato con il testo che inizia a pochissimi millimetri dal bordo superiore… immagino che in questo lotto di stampa siano tutti così!
    Mi dovró rassegnare a tenerlo in questo stato anche se non rende giustizia allo scritto di un pioniere dell’elettronica / informatica

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastico, super consigliato agli esperti di Informatica
    Reviewed in Italy on November 13, 2024

    Libro decisamente ben scritto e che riporta le idee di uno dei geni dell'informatica moderna. Tra coloro che hanno inventato, tra l'altro, lo standard Byte, il sistema del software su cassetta che tanto abbiamo amato negli anni '80. E invece mi tocca vedere il solito frustrato dalla vita che lascia una recensione negativa solo perchè non è stampato centrato come piace a lui. Credo fermamente che il suffragio universale sia un concetto da rivedere in questa epoca moderna. Libro consigliassimo e ricco di aneddoti unici raccontati da una delle menti più importanti del secolo informatico.
