Rating:  - Riveting
This book was riveting and actually a page turner. I could not put it down and was able to read it in one day. It is informative and interesting. This book clues you in to the creation of the internet and to the people behind that endeavor. It will make you a more well informed person and expand your perspectives relative to achievement.

Rating: - Great Overview of the True History of the Internet
This is quite possibly one of the most engaging computer books I've ever read, which says quite a bit when I've read computer books for years.

Rating:  - A clearly told story
This is a simple tale about the founders of the Internet. It does not get bogged down in many technical terms although there are some. It explains the development of a network that we now take for granted. A good read.
Rating: - Great history of the Arpanet!
Had a lot of fun reading this book; highly recommended.
We all use the Internet; let's learn how it all started.
