"Inspired by Fred Turner's new book From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism, RU Sirius explores "Counterculture and the Tech Revolution" in a piece that savors the stew from which Worldchanging has emerged. Sirius considers the complementarity of Turner's book with John Markoff's What the Dormouse Said, a history of the personal computer industry's origins in sixities counterculture and the impact of LSD experimentation and antiwar activism on the PC's development."
