{"product_id":"9781101201084","title":"What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal ComputerIndustry","description":"Most histories of the personal computer industry focus on technology or business. John Markoff’s landmark book is about the culture and consciousness behind the first PCs—the culture being counter– and the consciousness expanded, sometimes chemically. It’s a brilliant evocation of Stanford, California, in the 1960s and ’70s, where a group of visionaries set out to turn computers into a means for freeing minds and information. In these pages one encounters Ken Kesey and the phone hacker Cap’n Crunch, est and LSD, \u003cb\u003eThe Whole Earth Catalog\u003c\/b\u003e and the Homebrew Computer Lab. \u003cb\u003eWhat the Dormouse Said\u003c\/b\u003e is a poignant, funny, and inspiring book by one of the smartest technology writers around.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106186739952,"sku":"9781101201084","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101201084_p0.jpg?v=1763685776","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101201084","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
