That’s what I was thinking… there needs to be, for sure. As I said, probably much of internet history focuses on what is easier to get at, which is institutional aspects, from the most high profile people working within governments or universities from that era, and that deals with the technological end of things rather than the social/cultural.
I’ve not seen that, but should probably see if I can dig up a copy one day in the future.
That’s a real shame. Probably the main way people will be able to access that history is via oral histories, magazines, and whatever people managed to find a way to save from those communities.
The common wisdom that the internetz are 4-evah is really proving to be not very accurate.
