Big thumbs up here to Brian's book, his podcasts, and his public speaking. Brian gave a great talk on the history of Google here at Weber State University a year ago. The students loved it and the auditorium was packed. If you are looking for an author (or a speaker) who can help your students understand how the internet came to be I would definitely put Brian on your short list!

Hey everyone:
Belated book announcement here: How The Internet Happened From Netscape To The iPhone <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1631493078?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&pf_rd_r=1JW57MD3EF8X38MM6XZ0> .
Just got word that the book was named Best of Technology Nonfiction <https://www.libraryjournal.com/?page=best-books-2018> from Library Journal for 2018. Kirkus Starred Review <https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/brian-mccullough/how-the-internet-happened/>. Wall Street Journal review <https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-the-internet-happened-review-building-a-world-online-1541111101>. The book was designed to be a mainstream-accessible introduction to how technology infiltrated all our lives over the last 25 years. Would make a great syllabus addition to provide a baseline for almost any course you're teaching in the history of tech, business or what have you. Published by Norton, available in e-book format and audiobook as well, I hope you'll read, enjoy and consider assigning it.
My thanks especially to Laine and Luke for introducing me to y'all and all I met at the SIGCIS event at the Computer History Museum a few years ago. Your encouragement and support helped this book happen!
