Synopsis

Jeff Duntemann began writing about technology in the mid-1970s, at the dawn of the microcomputer era. In his role as a technical magazine editor and early blogger, he wrote literally thousands of essays, editorials, blog posts, and humor pieces, many of which exist only in paper magazines from decades ago. In response to requests from his fans, he's collected the best of his non-technical writing, and thrown in a little memoir to cast some light on the odd man behind these truly odd lots. Some highlights:

  • His favorite writing tips
  • His prediction of Wikipedia in 1994
  • His prediction of selfies in 1983
  • How nanotechnology might eventually create computers as small as dirt particles
  • How dogs helped early humans survive their genocidal impulses, making civilization possible
  • What tweener boys learn from monster movies
  • The challenges of truly long-horizon thinking
  • The benefits of contrarian thinking
  • Why tribalism may be the worst problem facing humanity
  • Where anger came from and how it kills
  • What it means to be truly free
...and much else, including a number of items never before published.
