I think it is the same book. Personal review: This book makes the history of computing tangible, visceral, and fun to read about - covering all the important characters, and showing the network of connections among them, from Vannevar Bush, Norbert Weiner, Claude Shannon, all the way to Bob Taylor and Alan Kay. Licklider forms an important node in the network with his imagination, and actions taken such as this 1963 memo for the "Members and Affiliates of the Intergalactic Computer Network" [1]
