Ensmenger, Nathan Lee (Author)
This issue features articles on history of the computer networks and networking. David Hemmendinger uncovers two early and previously undocumented computer networks that predated the Arpanet by as much as a half-decade, and participant-historians John Day and Craig Partridge masterfully demonstrate just how important it is that we unpack intimidating sets of acronyms (both technical and organizational) to reveal the people, practices, and politics that lie behind them. Lastly, in the second of their two-part series on visual representations of the Arpanet, Bradley Fidler and Marie Currie explore the ways in which the original Arpanet maps are anything but straightforward depictions of the physical or spatial "reality" of the network.
