Very cool article. The legends about 80's Xerox and the PARC seem so mysterious and fascinating. How could such an innovative place fall apart so badly?

Project MUSE - The Philosopher of Palo Alto: Mark Weiser, Xerox PARC, and the Original Internet of Things by John Tinnell (review)

Just finished my review of John Tinnell’s „The philosopher of #PaloAlto: Mark #Weiser, #Xerox_PARC, and the original #internetofthings“.

The review will be published in „Technology & Culture“ #IoT #ComAI
