À propos de la quatrième de couverture
It is all too easy to forget, as we go through life with computers in our pockets, that the digital revolution started at home. Home Computers showcases the quirky and characterful beginnings of a commercial product that would come to unite the globe: the personal computer. As so much technology is forgotten once it is superseded, this is a celebration of industrial design and techno-utopianism from the not-so-distant past. Conceived as a visual sourcebook of the most popular, most powerful and most idiosyncratic computers to grace our workspaces, this timely publication offers a reflection on how far we've come and a nostalgic look at a time when digital worlds could be contained in a box and turned off, rather than everpresent in our lives.
Home Computers opens with a scene-setting retrospective by computer and gaming writer Alex Wiltshire. The book's heart is a series of commissioned photographs that capture details of early user-interface design, letterforms and logos. Images are enlivened by a potted history of each device, the inventors or personalities behind it, and its innovations and influences. These wonderful machines offered a bridge from the analogue to the digital. As such, we would do well to reflect on, and celebrate, the profound changes they have brought.
