Gods of the Digital Commune:
"We are as Gods, and might as well get good at it." - Stewart Brand.
The opening line of the 1968 Whole Earth Catalog captures the back-to-land movement
and the personal computer revolution.
Stewart Brand created the first paper internet. A man of great foresight, he wanted the whole
world to see what the Earth looked like and created a button campaign to get NASA to release
images of the planet. Read about his vision to bring The Whole Earth Catalog to life.
The Catalog allowed a reader in a remote cabin to look up a tool, find a book on
solar energy, or connect with an organic farming collective.
It mapped out human knowledge exactly the way the World Wide Web does today.
Brand's genius wasn't just as a publisher, but as an information architect who
anticipated the digital age using nothing but paper and ink.
