"Tech-guru Brian McCullough delivers a rollicking history of the internet, why it
exploded, and how it changed everything. The internet was never intended for you,
opines Brian McCullough in this lively narrative of an era that utterly transformed
everything we thought we knew about technology. In How the Internet Happened, he chronicles
the whole fascinating story for the first time, beginning in a dusty Illinois basement
in 1993, when a group of college kids set off a once-in-an-epoch revolution with what
would become the first "dotcom." Depicting the lives of now-famous innovators like
Netscape's Marc Andreessen and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, McCullough also reveals
surprising quirks and unknown tales as he tracks both the technology and the culture
around the internet's rise. Cinematic in detail and unprecedented in scope, the result
both enlightens and informs as it draws back the curtain on the new rhythm of disruption
and innovation the internet fostered, and helps to redefine an era that changed every
part of our lives"
