Yet some questioned \"why anyone would want such a thing\" when the idea was first introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart history, part memoir and part cultural study, \u003ci\u003eNetwork Geeks\u003c\/i\u003e charts the creation of the Internet and the establishment of the Internet Engineering Task Force, from the viewpoint of a self-proclaimed geek who witnessed these developments first-hand. With boundless enthusiasm and abundant humour, Brian Carpenter leads the reader on a journey from post-war Britain to post-millennium New Zealand, describing how the Internet grew into today's ubiquitous, global network, including the genesis of the World-Wide Web in the hotbeds of a particle collider at CERN. Illuminating the science and technology behind the apparent \"magic trick\" of the Internet, \u003ci\u003eNetwork Geeks\u003c\/i\u003e opens a window into the initially bewildering world of the Internet engineering geek. After reading this book, you may wish to join this world yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Copernicus Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45131389075607,"sku":"9781447150244","price":1817.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781447150244.webp?v=1767281330","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/network-geeks-how-they-built-the-internet-9781447150244","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
