The Netizens Netbook
---------------------
An on-line book titled "Netizens: On the History and Impact of
Usenet and the Internet" by Michael Hauben and Ronda Hauben is
available from
http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/netbook/
This book documents the 30-year development of the Net; Usenet,
ARPANET, Internet, etc. In addition to the history of the Net, we look at
what impact the Net is having on society today. We examine the past and
present in an attempt to help provide perspective for the future of the Net.
The foundation for the Net was established by an academic and
scientific research community. Despite the popular myth, the Net
was not developed by the military. We try to document the
cooperative culture and community that the Net has grown from and
continues.
This version is a draft. We welcome comments and suggestions. In
addition, we are looking for a publisher for a print edition. Please
