BLEEDING EDGE. Cape to publish in England

[Monte Davis]

I know, just teasing - I've worked in publishing, been published, and commit
marketing communications daily myself when I'm not being a hypocrite
lecteur. 

 

Seriously, I'd say we're still very much in the infancy of the internet: we
ain't seen nothin yet.

He's a publisher, not a historian. And he's trying to sell books.

".captures that strange time [2001] when the internet was still in its
infancy."

 

OK, let's forget that ARPANET started in 1969 and TCP/IP in 1975. I'll
ignore my early-1980s memories of using NEXIS and starting to spend a
buttload of time on CompuServe. Let's say "the internet" sensu ampliore,
reaching beyond a nerd subculture, began with the Mosaic and Netscape
browsers circa 1994. That's seven years before the time in which BE is set,
which in turn is twelve years ago. 

 

How is it that this lives in thy mind, Dan Franklin? What seest thou else in
the dark backward and abysm of time?

And Publisher Dan Franklin likes it.
