It tells the history of computing by following J.C.R Licklider. As one of the directors of ARPA, he was responsible for funding research labs to work on computer research. He had a major impact on which projects got funded, and in-turn which systems are now being used 60 years later. I honestly love this book so much. If you love computers and history, its a must-read.
