Synopsis

Imagine a time before everyone stared at a screen, before fonts, icons, mice, and laser printers, before Apple and Microsoft… But tucked away in El Segundo and Palo Alto, Xerox engineers were dreaming and secretly building the modern personal computer. Who were these people who changed the world, and why did corporate management just want to sell copiers and printers?The author, Albert Cory,* was one of the engineers, charged with making that dream a reality and unknowingly starting a revolution. Inventing the Future is based on the true story of the Xerox Star, the computer that changed everything.
