Computer Lib/Dream Machines
''Computer Lib'' is a 1974 book by Ted Nelson, originally published by Nelson himself, and packaged with ''Dream Machines'', another book by Nelson. The book had two front covers to indicate its ''intertwingled'' nature, and was republished with a foreword by Stewart Brand in 1987 by Microsoft Press. ''Computer Lib'', subtitled "You can and must understand computers NOW," was influenced by Brand's ''Whole Earth Catalog''.
Nelson's book is a spirited manifesto that inspired a generation of DIY computer-lovers. In his book ''Tools for Thought'', Howard Rheingold calls ''Computer Lib'' "the best-selling underground manifesto of the microcomputer revolution."〔Rheingold, Howard.(Tools for Thought )〕 In Steven Levy's book ''Hackers'', ''Computer Lib'' is described as "the epic of the computer revolution, the bible of the hacker dream. () was stubborn enough to publish it when no one else seemed to think it was a good idea." Published just before the release of the Altair 8800 kit, ''Computer Lib'' is often considered the first book about the personal computer.〔Wardrip-Fruin & Montfort 2003, (p. 301 ).〕
==Synopsis==
Nelson writes passionately about the need for people to understand computers deeply, more deeply than was generally promoted as computer literacy, which he considers a superficial kind of familiarity with particular hardware and software. His rallying cry "Down with Cybercrud" is against the centralization of computers such as that performed by IBM at the time, as well as against what he sees as the intentional untruths that "computer people" tell to non-computer people to keep them from understanding computers. In ''Dream Machines,'' Nelson covers the flexible media potential of the computer, which was shockingly new at the time.
