Hardcover. Condition: Good. Fourth. The story of the man who instigated the work that led to the internet-and shifted our understanding of what computers could be.Behind every great revolution is a vision, and behind perhaps the greatest revolution of our time is the vision of J.C.R. Licklider. He did not design the first personal computers or write the software that ran on them, nor was he involved in the legendary early companies that brought them to the forefront of our everyday experience. He was instead a relentless visionary who saw the potential in the way that individuals could interact with computers and software.At a time when computers were a short step removed from mechanical data processors, Licklider was writing treatises on human-computer symbiosis, computers as communication devices, and a now not-so-unfamiliar Intergalactic Network. His ideas became so influential, his passion so contagious, that author M. Mitchell Waldrop calls him computings Johnny Appleseed.In a simultaneously compelling personal narrative and comprehensive historical exposition, Waldrop tells the story of the man who not only instigated the work that led to the internet, but also shifted our understanding of what computers were and could be.This Stripe Press edition also includes the original texts of Lickliders three most influential writings: Man-Computer Symbiosis (1960), which outlines the vision that led to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s; his Intergalactic Network memo (1963), which outlines the vision that inspired the internet; and The Computer as a Communication Device (1968, coauthored with Robert Taylor), which amplifies his vision for what the network could become.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Here is "Complexity - The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos" by M. Michael Waldrop. It is the 1992 Simon and Schuster Hardcover First Edition. The hardcover is now Out of Print (OP). This is a clean and attractive copy that has the previous owners personal bookplate ********************************************* On the rear panel of the dust-jacket is a glowing review by Douglas R. Hofstadter (author of "Gödel, Escher, Bach") : "There is something magical going on at the Santa Fe Institute, and Mitchell Waldrop's "Complexity" captures it beautifully. In this book, Waldrop has done something remarkable: While sparklingly conveying the essence of several dovetailing scientific revolutions taking place right under our noses, he has also told a moving story of many interacting lives, as alive with humanity as a good novel. One comes away from 'Complexity' both intellectually excited by the ideas, and emotionally involved with the people struggling to formulate them. This is a deep tale of science in the making." ********************************************** Further, excerpted from the book: "Somehow, a new, unified science was out there waiting to be born. It would be a rigorous science . just as hard as physics ever was, and just as thoroughly grounded in natural law. But instead of being a quest for the ultimate particles, it would be about flux, change, and the forming and dissolving of patterns. Instead of ignoring everything that wasn't uniform and predictable, it would have a place for individuality and the accidents of history. Instead of being about simplicity, it would be about -- well, complexity." ********************************************** TITLE : Complexity - The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos / AUTHOR : M. Mitchell Waldrop (Has a doctorate in particle physics) / IMPRINT : Simon and Schuster / PLACE : New York / DATE : (1992) / EDITION : First Edition Hardcover (with number line to that effect) / STATUS : Hardcover OP / DETAILS : Trade Hardcover; contains a Bibliography and an Index; 380 pages; 6 1/8" x 9 1/8"; quarter-bound black , cloth-covered spine and orange, paper-covered boards; gilt lettering on spine; Photo of author on rear flap. *********************************************** CONDITION -- BOOK : VERY GOOD JACKET : VERY GOOD This is a previously owned book that remains clean and attractive with but modest signs of handling and use (mild surface rub to jacket, cover bright and clean; the previous owner's bookplate is affixed to the front paste-down (easy to paste over and put your own name in place). Interior is clean and free of marking).
