The Computer by Mark Frauenfelder

The Computer by Mark Frauenfelder

From handheld smart phones to vast scientific simulators, computers are developing at an ever-increasing speed. Uber-technogeek Mark Frauenfelder traces the evolution of this vital machine from its earliest roots through its exciting application in code-breaking during World War Two, and from its initial use in the workplace and home to its current status as a ubiquitous, integral part of life.

Mark Frauenfelder is a research director at Institute for the Future, and the founder of Boing Boing, a website about current events with five million monthly unique viewers. He was the founding editor-in-chief of MAKE, the only magazine exclusively devoted to do-it-yourself projects, and the founding editor-in-chief of Wired Online. He was an editor at Wired magazine and Wired Books from 1993-1998. He's also the editor-in-chief of Cool Tools, a tool review site with roots to the Whole Earth Catalog. Mark's also an artist and designer, and his work has appeared in group and solo gallery exhibitions throughout the United States. He designed Billy Idol's Cyberpunk CD cover, video box, and print advertisements. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, writer Carla Sinclair (founding editor-in-chief of CRAFT magazine) and his two daughters.

Ryan Bates focuses on the small-scale arcade experience. He specializes in DIY Kits and comprehensive tutorials for building mini arcades, claw machines, and other arcade/video game related nostalgia.
