Burn Book: A Tech Love Story by Kara Swisher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In the 80s, we had a Commodore 64 (my friend and I visited on a Bulletin Board!), a Tandy Sensation, and bits and pieces of others. The internet went from the exciting screaming of connecting modems to what we have today. Remember AOL, NetZero, PeoplePC, Prodigy, and everything in between. This cyberworld has been an adventure and sometimes scary place to visit.
It was fun to think about that history and see it from Kara Swisher’s point of view. She is a techie and journalist.
I found this edition in Libby and found it had to be read while alert. Not a bedtime story. You have to think while listening. I hope everyone gets a chance to listen to this book. Ms. Swisher is intelligent and can help us see how the industry has changed and progressed. She has some cautions for us as we proceed.
