Perhaps it's when I heard a pundit on PBS--I think in the Nerds two-part documentary--refer to the Internet as the "greatest revolution in communications since the invention of language." That's going a bit far. I might be willing to consider it the greatest revolution in communications since the printing press. But I think "since television" is closer to accurate.
The Internet's history does make for fascinating subject matter.
What, then, might be some good books about the origin and development of the Internet? I'd like it to be as current as possible, covering the World Wide Web revolution-within-a-revolution.
Thanks.
