Broad Band The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the InternetClaire L. Evans2/2024This isn’t a complete history of the internet, but it’s a cool look at some of the women who played pivotal roles in shaping various highlights of its history. I was fascinated with the early chapters which honed in on what i remembered of my own early use of computers in the 70s and 80s. The final chapters were interesting, but focused on bits of the web that i wasn’t much a part of. Overall, it was a good look at the horribly-outnumbered women who made a difference in tech. |
Eerie Tales from the School of Screams Graham Annable2/2024This book is set up as separate creepy tales as told by students in a classroom, but then ties it all together in the end for a somewhat satisfying conclusion, although it hints at further mystery. The drawings are sketchy but clean with lush colors—a different color pallette for each tale. It had sly humor and wasn’t too scary. |
