It’s a wonderful book, and thank you to Severo for making it publicly accessible!
Severo also did an oral history<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.computerhistory.org%2Fcollections%2Fcatalog%2F102738018&data=02%7C01%7Cceruzzip%40si.edu%7C0379520e2895493fb81508d851f082bb%7C989b5e2a14e44efe93b78cdd5fc5d11c%7C0%7C0%7C637349440713900806&sdata=Btqz%2BvNlbboh0b8251O9yMe1wQbaM0%2BmnezFVE2R1nM%3D&reserved=0> with us, as did Dave Walden and several of the other folks being mentioned in this thread.
Best, Marc

Thanks - this is some wonderful reading.  For example, the Bob Taylor portion and the birth of the ARPANET and the ALTO computer nicely complements other books such as Leslie Berlin's Troublemakers.

Thanks, Brian Berg

His journey goes from Whirlwind to TX-2 to LINC to ARPANET to Durado to Mockingbird.  At least look at the annotated Table of Contents and read the Preface to see what you'd be missing to not read his well written story.
