Review:
Considering that the history of the Internet is perhaps better documented internally than any other technological construct, it is remarkable how shadowy its origins have been to most people, including die-hard Net-denizens!
About the Author:
At last, Hafner and Lyon have written a well-researched story of the origins of the Internet substantiated by extensive interviews with its creators who delve into many interesting details such as the controversy surrounding the adoption of our now beloved "@" sign as the separator of usernames and machine addresses. Essential reading for anyone interested in the past -- and the future -- of the Net specifically, and telecommunications generally.
Katie Hafner is a technology correspondent at ''Newsweek'' and coauthor of ''Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier.'' Matthew Lyon and Katie Hafner are married and live in the San Francisco Bay area.
