Fred Turner is assistant professor in the department of communication at Stanford University. He is the author of Echoes of Combat: The Vietnam War in American Memory.
Turner’s research and teaching focus on digital media, journalism and the roles played by media in American cultural history. His essays have tackled topics ranging from the rise of reality crime television to the role of the Burning Man festival in contemporary new media industries.
In the early 1960s, computers haunted the American popular imagination. Bleak tools of the cold war, they embodied the rigid organization and mechanical conformity that made the military-industrial complex possible. But by the 1990s—and the dawn of the Internet—computers started to represent a very different kind of world: a collaborative and digital utopia modeled on the communal ideals of the hippies who so vehemently rebelled against the cold war establishment in the first place.
From Counterculture to Cyberculture is the first book to explore this extraordinary and ironic transformation. Fred Turner here traces the previously untold story of a highly influential group of San Francisco Bay–area entrepreneurs: Stewart Brand and the Whole Earth network. Between 1968 and 1998, via such familiar venues as the National Book Award–winning Whole Earth Catalog, the computer conferencing system known as WELL, and, ultimately, the launch of the wildly successful Wired magazine, Brand and his colleagues brokered a long-running collaboration between San Francisco flower power and the emerging technological hub of Silicon Valley. Thanks to their vision, counterculturalists and technologists alike joined together to reimagine computers as tools for personal liberation, the building of virtual and decidedly alternative communities, and the exploration of bold new social frontiers.
Shedding new light on how our networked culture came to be, this fascinating book reminds us that the distance between the Grateful Dead and Google, between Ken Kesey and the computer itself, is not as great as we might think.

評分这是一部什么样的书?一时半会儿还真不好回答。鲁迅先生曾说,同样是一部红楼梦,易学家看到的是经,道学家看到的是淫,才子看到的是缠绵,革命家看到的是排满。落到这本书上,约莫正是这样。 这是有关英雄与英雄事件的故事。麦克卢汉,巴克敏斯特,恩格尔巴特,尼葛洛庞帝,...

評分電腦、互聯網是現代人賴以溝通的工具。但在60年代的越戰及冷戰時期,電腦卻是公眾忌諱之物,因為這種發明當時普遍認為只能夠用於強化工業、軍事、器械等發展。直至90年代互聯網面世,電腦卻締造了一個虛擬的烏托邦,那是一個協作互利與分享的世界,這些正是60年代嬉皮士所追求...
