The Dream Machine
Description
In the early 1960s, when computers were vast, forbidding machines controlled by institutions, psychologist and visionary J.C.R. Licklider imagined a radically different future: computers as personal tools for creativity, communication, and discovery. This engaging history follows Licklider and the pioneering researchers he inspired as they lay the intellectual and technological foundations for personal computing, interactive software, and the connected world. Blending biography, technological history, and institutional drama, it explores how an audacious idea transformed computers from instruments of calculation into gateways for human expression and collaboration.
