Rather terrible translation, sloppily edited. The dense accumulation of facts and anecdotes is still inspiring, however.
This was a set book in an Open University course I was taking at the time. My version was published in 2001. It is about the beginnings of the internet - how it all started and developed up to about 1999. It has a really useful glossary at the back which helped my understanding of the subject.
It complimented my learning and I found it easy to read.

a part history of the internet and how we got to where we are, and part contemplation on the direction that the internet should go in
