The Internet is the most remarkable achievement of humankind since the pyramids. The millennium from now, historians will look back at it and marvelled at the people equipped with such conduct tools succeeded in creating such a leviathan. Yet even as the Net pervades our lives, we begin to take it for granted. Many have lost the capacity for wonder. Most of us have no idea where the Interet came from, how it works, or who created it and why. And even fewer have any idea what it means for society and future.
John Naughton has written a warm and passionate book whose heroes and the visionaries laid the foundations of postmodern world. A Brief History of the Future celebrates the engineers and scientists who implemented their dreams in hardware and software and explains the values and ideas that drove them. Although its subject seems technical, the book in fact is a highly personal account. The author writes about the Net and way Nick Hornby writes about soccer-as part of life, and as a key influence on his own voyage from solitary child to establish academic and writer.
A Brief History of the Future is an intimate celebration of vision and al truism, ingenuity and determination, and above all of the power of ideas transform the world.
John Naughton is an academic and a journalit. He teaches at the Open University and has written an award-winning weekly column for the Observer for more than ten years. He lives in Cambridge, England, and is a fellow of Wolfson College at the University of Cambridge.
