2006. From Counterculture to Cyberculture, Chicago: University of Chicago Press
Techno-utopianism
This book charts the place of hippy counterculture in the development of the utopian view of the communitarian ethos of the Internet, placing Stewart Brand - creator of the Whole Earth Catalogue, itself a counterculture, do-it-yourself bible - at the centre of events.
And as you might expect, it's a pretty utopian view of the story itself.
