Howard Rheingold's 'Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology' - covers George Boole, Charles Babbage, Alan Turing, John Von Neumann Jon Gernter's 'The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation'…
tips hat my pleasure. I'll add that I've recently begun to read about the fascinating early history of computing myself through a series of HN threads which led me to read, "Tools for Thought" by Howard Rheingold. That book is highly cited in another book mentioned here in the comments about Licklider, "The Dream Machine". I highly recommend Tools for Thought. It is very clear from reading…
Some of my favourite internet-specific books: - The Dream Machine. Fantastic tech history coverage with a particular focus on the lead up to the internet https://press.stripe.com/#the-dream-machine. - Tools for Thought - Lots of similar ground to the Dream Machine but with a less internet-centric focus. Still great though - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tools-Thought-History-Mind-Expandin... Perhaps not internet focused,…
I haven't read it yet, but Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology by Howard Rheingold looks very promising. The MIT Press edition [1] contains an afterword, in which Rheingold interviews some of the pioneers discussed…
I'm following my own advice there at the end and browsing around a bit more, and one book dynamicland links to on their bookshelf (https://dynamicland.org/2024/Roots/) is "Tools for Thought" (https://www.rheingold.com/texts/tft/) which has this amazing blurb which reminded me of this thread: > Tools for Thought is an exercise in retrospective futurism; that is, I wrote it in the early 1980s,…

脱帽致敬，不客气。我想补充的是，我自己最近也开始通过 HN 上的一系列帖子去阅读关于早期计算机发展那段迷人历史的书籍，这些帖子让我读到了霍华德·莱茵戈德的《思想的工具》。那本书在评论区提到的另一本关于利克莱德的书《造梦机器》中被大量引用。我强烈推荐《思想的工具》。读起来很明显就能看出……

一些我最喜欢的互联网专题书籍：- 《造梦机器》。极佳的技术史记录，特别聚焦于互联网诞生前夕的历程 https://press.stripe.com/#the-dream-machine。- 《思想的工具》——和《造梦机器》涉及的领域有很多重合，但视角没那么以互联网为中心。不过依然很棒——https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tools-Thought-History-Mind-Expandin... 也许不是专门讲互联网的，……

我还没读过，但霍华德·莱茵戈德写的《思想的工具：拓展心智的技术史与未来》看起来很有搞头。MIT 出版社的版本 [1] 包含一个后记，莱茵戈德在里面采访了书中讨论过的一些先驱人物……

我听从了自己最后的那点建议，又多逛了一圈，dynamicland 在他们的书架上（https://dynamicland.org/2024/Roots/）链接了一本书，叫《思想的工具》（https://www.rheingold.com/texts/tft/），上面这段精彩的简介让我想起了这个帖子：> 《思想的工具》是一次回顾式未来主义的实践；也就是说，我是 1980 年代初写的这本书，……
