In the early 1960s, computers haunted the American popular imagination. Bleak tools of the cold war, they embodied the rigid organization and mechanical conformity that made the military-industrial complex possible. But by the 1990s—and the dawn of the Internet—computers started to represent a very different kind of world: a collaborative and digital utopia modeled on the communal ideals of the hippies who so vehemently rebelled against the cold war establishment in the first place.
From Counterculture to Cyberculture is the first book to explore this extraordinary and ironic transformation. Fred Turner here traces the previously untold story of a highly influential group of San Francisco Bay–area entrepreneurs: Stewart Brand and the Whole Earth network. Between 1968 and 1998, via such familiar venues as the National Book Award–winning Whole Earth Catalog , the computer conferencing system known as WELL, and, ultimately, the launch of the wildly successful Wired magazine, Brand and his colleagues brokered a long-running collaboration between San Francisco flower power and the emerging technological hub of Silicon Valley. Thanks to their vision, counterculturalists and technologists alike joined together to reimagine computers as tools for personal liberation, the building of virtual and decidedly alternative communities, and the exploration of bold new social frontiers.
Shedding new light on how our networked culture came to be, this fascinating book reminds us that the distance between the Grateful Dead and Google, between Ken Kesey and the computer itself, is not as great as we might think.

评分读完这本书最大的感受是 现在的科技互联网说到底都是商业基因 说白了都是做生意的 而在那个年代 WEC WELL 早期的WIRED 闪耀的是理性主义光辉

这是一部什么样的书?一时半会儿还真不好回答。鲁迅先生曾说,同样是一部红楼梦,易学家看到的是经,道学家看到的是淫,才子看到的是缠绵,革命家看到的是排满。落到这本书上,约莫正是这样。 这是有关英雄与英雄事件的故事。麦克卢汉,巴克敏斯特,恩格尔巴特,尼葛洛庞帝,...

评分20世纪60年代的时候,一位年轻的美国妈妈买了一套百科全书。翻开一看,就看到了原子弹爆炸的图片,她顿时吓坏了。 这是Fred Turner在《数字乌托邦》里讲述的一个真实故事。在那个年代,几乎所有的美国青年都担心他们随时会因为受到来自苏联的核子导弹的袭击而永远告别人世。 ...
评分还没有看过这本书。但这不妨碍我对SB佩服的一塌糊涂。 如果不是Steve Jobs在斯坦福演讲中提到他,他依然在很多人视线之外。但是一本《全球目录》这个乌托邦杂志的企图心就令人拍案叫绝,后来他还想弄全球物种目录,虽然项目由于资金短缺终止了,可这份胆气就令人服气。 最令人...
