<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>While there have been several written histories of the personal computer, a well-known technology writer has created the first ever to spotlight the unique political and cultural forces of the 1960s that gave rise to this revolutionary technology.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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, <b>The Whole Earth Catalog</b> and the Homebrew Computer Lab. <b>What the Dormouse Said</b> is a poignant, funny, and inspiring book by one of the smartest technology writers around.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Markoff is a senior writer for <b>The New York Times</b> who has coauthored <b>Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier</b> and the bestselling <b>Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of Kevin Mitnick, America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw</b>.
