Description
A passionate manifesto for understanding computers as creative, liberating tools rather than mysterious machines controlled by specialists, this volume challenges the shallow notion of “computer literacy.” It critiques technological centralization, corporate authority, and the jargon and misinformation that can keep ordinary people from grasping how computers truly work. The book also presents a visionary account of interactive, flexible media and the computer’s potential to transform writing, learning, design, and human expression. Provocative and far-reaching, it captures a pivotal moment in the history of personal computing while anticipating ideas that would shape the digital future.
