Description: "README offers a readable half-century of bookish history that explains how computers became popular and pervasive"-- Provided by publisher.

--Lisa Gitelman, author of Always Already New and Paper Knowledge
--Paul Ceruzzi, Curator Emeritus, National Air and Space Museum "A wonderfully readable look at the interface between book history and computer history, README retells some familiar stories while uncovering a good many more, accompanying them with critical analysis, interviews with industry figures, and fresh archival scrutiny."
