This work recounts the key players and technologies that allowed the Internet to develop. The main focus is on always on the social and cultural factors that influenced the Internet's design and use. The story starts with the early networking breakthroughs formulated in Cold War think tanks and realized in the Defense Department's creation of the ARPANET. It ends with the emergence of the Internet and its rapid and seemingly chaotic growth.
