3.0 out of 5 stars How insecure boys get bigger toys to prove thier adulthood, 1 Feb 2002
This book is a set piece for the Open Univercity's course on you , your computer and the net, and excellent course for beginners and as such i bought this book expecting it to be of the older style of dry fact filled and boring!! Well it was (for me at least) a memorable and interesting read, I never put it down until it was complete........fascinating to find out how these pioneering people have made such an impact on the public with technology that , like Tv was not envisaged for use as its being used now.....well worth the trip back in time, to the recent past, also mentions the huge impact that britain made with thier code breakers from WWII and the first valve computer ever made in London.....

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, in-depth and compeling read, 2 Jan 2002
This book had me gripped. It explains the full history of the net and its inventors, from the men with the vision to those who made it happen.

A little techie in places but this did not stop me picking the book up at every opportunity.

If your interested in the Net and its origins then this is THE book for you.
