Uncommon in the true first printing. The first biography of the Internet written for the layperson. Numerous b&w photos. "Hafner and Lyon focus on the 1960's and the pioneering work of the engineers and scientists who designed the Arpanet. From their work sprang the global Internet, and some of their ideas -- like e-mail -- form the backbone of idea-sharing for new technology."
