In A History of the Internet, Johnny Ryan explores the development of the internet from its invention in the 1960s to its modern-day success. He presents a fascinating and accessible history of this revolutionary technology and explores its impact on the role of the individual within this networked world. Though we have so quickly come to take the ubiquity of the internet for granted – from our laptops to our smart phones, we are always connected – this book celebrates just how fantastic and innovative the invention truly was and still is.
