In this talk, John Markoff, Technology writer for the New York Times, highlights how 60's counterculture in the Bay Area shaped the personal computer industry. In this talk highlighting themes from his new book, Markoff tells the story of the how military funding of basic research, anti-war activism, and readily available psychedelic drugs converged on the mid-Peninsula in the 1960's to create a unique political and cultural environment that led to development of the personal computer. John Markoff is a senior writer for the New York Times, and co-author of Cyberpunk: Outlaws and hackers on the Computer Frontier and the best selling Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of Kevin Mitnick, America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw. He is a three-time Pulizer Prize nominee.
