Where Wizards Stay Up Late by Katie Hafner

Where Wizards Stay Up Late by Katie Hafner

In the 1960s, when computers were regarded as giant calculators, J.C.R. Licklider at MIT saw them as the ultimate communication device. With Defence Department funds, he and a band of computer whizzes began work on a nationwide network of computers. This is an account of their daring adventure.

Katie Hafner, reporter for the New York Times, comes from a family of truly gifted musicians and is a clumsy, but dedicated pianist. She grew up listening to her father, a physicist and talented pianist, play the piano and expound on Glenn Gould's interpretations of Bach. Hafner is the author of four books: Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier (with John Markoff), The House at the Bridge: A Story of Modern Germany, Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet (with Matthew Lyon), and The Well: A Story of Love, Death and Real Life in the Seminal Online Community.
