How the computer world got this way
                    
                           “My friend Ted Nelson was one of the most inspirational figures in the
                                home computer revolution. [Geeks Bearing Gifts] chronicles this important
                                historic time. I highly recommend it.”
                                
                            Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple
                            
                                “The computing world, however, forgets its past at its peril. Indeed, it may
                                be worthwhile for the self-congratulatory computing industry not only to
                                read [Geeks Bearing Gifts], but also to take another look at [Ted Nelson’s]
                                more recent software design ideas. They may still point the way forward.”
                                
                        John Markoff in The New York Times
