"This makes entertaining reading. Many accounts of the birth of
personal computing have been written, but this is the first close
look at the drug habits of the earliest pioneers." -New York Times
Most histories of the personal computer industry focus on
technology or business. John Markoff's landmark book is about the
culture and consciousness behind the first PCs-the culture being
counter- and the consciousness expanded, sometimes chemically. It's
a brilliant evocation of Stanford, California, in the 1960s and
'70s, where a group of visionaries set out to turn computers into a
means for freeing minds and information. In these pages one
encounters Ken Kesey and the phone hacker Cap'n Crunch, est and
LSD, The Whole Earth Catalog and the Homebrew Computer Lab. What
the Dormouse Said is a poignant, funny, and inspiring book by one
of the smartest technology writers around.
