I have chosen to focus on a set of topics that illuminate what I believe to be the most important social and cultural factors shaping the Internet...In telling the story of the Internet, I also try to fill a gap in historical writing about computers. Much of the literature on the history of computing has focused on changes in hardware, on the achievements of individual inventors, or on the strategies of commerical firms or other institutions...In this book if hope to cross the divide that exists between narratives of production and narratives of use. I demonstrate that the kinds of social dynamics that we associate with the use of networks also came into play during their creation, and that users are not necessarily just 'consumers' of a technology but can take an active part in defining its features.
