“It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand”
“Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. [Music] This was in the late sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing. So, it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. JACK: This catalog is amazing. It’s filled with really helpful articles like how to build a shelter or a water pump, and it also has glimpses into the future and technologies and ideas for structures and systems, and sometimes there’s theoretical things in here; sometimes it’s practical, but there’s just a ton of wonderful, unique ideas on how to navigate the modern world. Stewart Brand, the guy who had made this, took a big fascination with computers, and especially hacking. He spun up his own BBS called the WELL”
