📘 History of the Internet

by Hilary Poole

Just try to imagine the world without the Internet. Yet in the early 1990s, hardly any of us knew it existed. What even fewer know is that its roots stretch back well into the nineteenth century. It's true - and this work takes you through the twists and turns, accidents, and leaps of faith that now enable us to sit at our computers and reach practically every other computer on the globe.
